So, that's a probably-maybe-one-day-if-VM feel-like-it...

Search Feature: If you find this unimpressive, then you shouldn't have TiVo.
I'm coming to a point where I agree with you there... Clearly that feature was much noise about nothing. When you use it, it's clunky (no support for T-9 style typing of the title, you have to navigate the on-screen keyboard, which takes forever) and there is far too much weight to people's names in the result screen. You pretty much to have to type the entire title of a programme to see it appear in the top-10 results.

Mini guide: underpowered? What does that mean????
No access to detailed info for programmes currently running on other channels without first having to switch to that channel.

Favourite Channels: how many favourites do you want??
At least one per member of my family. We watch different channels and like different programmes, and myself, I have different viewing habits depending on day and time of day

Quote:
Re-ordering channels: VM don't want this.
My point entirely... And the justification for it (other than just-because-we-said-so)?

Quote:
Streaming: This is something that will come a little later.. more details will be released by VM.
Another probably-maybe-one-day-if-VM feel-like-it

Remote Record: Works perfect for most. are you setting your region in the Online Guide correctly?
Absolutely!

Again, call me picky, but pretty much ALL these features have been available to me for the last 4 years on my Freeview box, through a mix of the firmware and a plugin written (and made available for free) by just a couple of guys!
