There is no reason why you can't watch a recorded programme running at the same time as the live programme (or at least within a few seconds), so that takes care of the twittering situation.

If VM add Reminders to Tivo, then that will add to the functionality, and that can't be bad in itself, even though I personally have no use for them.

I personally think that people are stuck in a slightly old mind set by hanging onto reminder functionality rather than taking advantage of the three recordable tuner functionality. Just my opinion of course.
