Ah yes, this is the best bit. It'll record an episode on a different channel if there's a conflict, and you can set it to only record new episodes. The TV guide should be much better than the current one, although that may come to V+ too later...
I used to have an S1 Tivo, and recording random things was occasionally useful, but wasn't a must-have for me. These days, with catch-up, it's probably even less useful.
The interface on the Tivo is likely to be much better, too. But that'll be a personal choice. Things like iPad apps will be nice, too ... once they come.
Generally, there's a lot of potential. Switching from a S1 Tivo with one tuner (actually one scart input and an infra-red blaster) that occasionally didn't change channels to a (then) modern V+ with three tuners wasn't an entirely positive move for me. I'm hoping that the new Tivo will be the best of both worlds.

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

There's a rumour that LoveFilm may be coming to Tivo. Streamed picture/sound quality is something which may well change.
