Your fancy new box has a dedicated 10meg modem no? So it can download let's call it 1MB of data per second, or 60 meg a minute or 3.6 gig per hour or 86 GIG a day.

If it really takes a whole week to fully populate everything what is it doing with the 604 GIGABYTES of data?

Sounds like a real major step, er, backwards.
Yes it may take that, but do not forget that we get:
MOVIES ON DEMAND
CATCH UP TV ON DEMAND
TV CHOICE ON DEMAND
MUSIC ON DEMAND
BBC I PLAYER
YOU TUBE
7 DAY BACKWARDS EPG

So it does take a while to download all of this data as well.

Just my thoughts as I never had a S1 TIVO
