Start over - would love to be able to start a TV show again at the touch of a button.
Remote recording - been available for years on Sky but no mention of it via cable despite cable boxes having a full two way link to Virgin HQ.
Create your own playlists of VoD shows.
I know Tivo is coming and it going to (apparently) change our lives but I have had cable for over 10 years now and these features have been available around the world for years.

and don't forget the ability to watch previously recorded shows on any of the boxes in the house. I think that was one of the SA facilities at one time...at least in the US.
When VOD was introduced, I always thought it was a good idea if NTL (as was then) could cook up some sort of remote record facility for people (this was before V+ boxes) Choose to record something and it's recorded automatically and stored for you at the headends.
