If Tivo is advertising certain features, then they aren't bells and whistles; they're part of the advertised feature set.
Tivo offers powerfull search and additional information on shows, actors, directors and the like with links to online information. That is an important part of the feature set. You may just use the 'recording features' but others want that advertised extra functionality; it's what separates the Tivo box from V+ or Sky+
So, they should work. For me, they do, so I don't have a problem, just delight in the extra functionality.
