I'm yet to see one single thing that the TIVO does that makes me go, wow that's cool.
Yes it has stuff i want (and need) like a bigger hard drive. But it a bit emperors new cloths to me, the longer the launch has dragged on the less i see that impresses.
Perhaps we need a "What is the most impressive thing about TIVO" thread so people with it can pick the one thing they thing makes TIVO a must have for them.

When it is released to the public in April we will possibly get an unbiased review. It would be nice if it were done by Cnet, Trusted reviews or the like. I shall wait until then and I guess others will as well.
