The main advantage Tivo has always had is its searches and Intelligent series linking.

It'll remember series you've recorded before and record new seasons when they start if you forget. They also should be able to distinguish between series properly unlike V+ which records anything by name on a specific time be it new or old. It basically series links like the V+ should have but didn't.

It'll also record stuff it thinks you might like based on what you have recorded before. So like sci fi? If a new sci fi series starts somewhere it'll record it for you.

For me things like net connections are fluff.. i've never used them on my Bluray and doubt i'll ever use them in a TV. Searching info about series/actors online? It'll just end up being someone somewhere trying to sell you something.

Online streaming of content? <SD quality picture with no 5.1 sound? No thanks.

Oh and a bigger hard disk, something we've been promised since the TVdrive was released.
