It'd probably be more accurate to describe the TiVo as an entertainment changer, rather than a game changer, seeing as it doesn't play any kind of game.
The remote is f'ing cock-eyed, though, in the sense that it's a dodgy shape and the navigation part at the top (arrows/OK button) would be better just below the play controls. The whole thing being shaped like a peanut is stupid... I'd gladly use the V+ remote I still have, but it lacks a couple of keys you need to operate the TiVo. Perhaps an ergonomic universal remote which can learn keys would be the best solution.
