Saw TiVo in action for the first time today at the Ideal Home Show. They have four boxes running, with two side by side. The two screens I could see had Comedy Central HD on one and 5*+1 SD on the other. HD looked great, SD about the same as my Samsung V+, although that is not a channel I would normally watch so it's hard to be more precise than that. Young lad doing the demo went through all the features with screens loading quickly, apart from a bit of a wait for some images to appear when entering the suggestions menu. He made the mistake of asking my daughter for her favourite programme when explaining the search feature, the cast list for Peppa Pig was empty! I was impressed a lot, but happier that it impressed Mrs Sminky as well. Prices quoted were £149 activation for existing customers with £3 a month extra, £199 plus £40 install and £3 a month. I didnt ask about VIP pricing as i think he was just a hired hand for the show working from a script so to speak. He also said it will be available from the 4th April.
