Tivo has a lot of work to do to start to impress.

The photo App is great, you can set up slide shows on your tv direct from Facebook, Picasa etc. Great for showing your photos without having to fire up the PC or mess about with plug in etc.

I have said this before and got a slating for it. It is a good idea as when you have been on holiday you can show the pics on the TV without having to crowd round a small screen?

Why did you upgrade if you didn't know what you were paying for?

I think it is down to some people expecting it to be just like the V+ when it's a totally separate product and works differently.

I did say some people, mainly the people complaining about what it can and can't do compared to V+.

People need to realise it's a totally diffent beast altogether.

Hi, the fact that my old v+hd box did virtually everything that TiVo can do but i had to shell out £150 to find this out ;)
