Hopefully the new box remembers series links between series? The only downside is the £10/month just for the EPG data!

This is what I loved about TiVo. It was so reliable and remembered everything. The number of times we were surprised because a favourite series had been picked up again by TiVo. Also, we quite often came across interesting programmes recorded as suggestions. Wishlists are brilliant. The list can go on and on. All this on a ten year old, single tuner device.
