Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

janiner's complaints below are all correct, a great deal of functionality was lost with the upgrade to version 2.0 from 1.0.5 for me:

• There is no longer and option to record only on weekdays or weekends, all days get recorded for repeating programs and unwanted ones must be manually deleted from the schedule.

• The RadioSHARK window opens every time there is a recording taking place, and cannot be closed without stopping recording.

• My monitors no longer sleep or even go into screensaver mode with RadioSHARK active. They no longer sleep even when it is not as well, probably due to the sharkMonitor login item always running in the background.

• The interface is smaller than before, harder to read, and is not customizable. Skins would go a long way to alleviate that problem.

I'm sure there are others, but those are the main concerns. I will be downgrading (upgrading?) to 1.0.5 again.
