Re: What would you like in the next Tivo update next year?
Another one from me: expand search to cover any source content.
This is partly what is on Tivo Premiere now from a You Tube demo I've seen, so as an example and subject to all the deals being in place, you could search for a film across all TV channels, Filmflex, Netflix, Blockbuster, Lovefilms, etc.
The same would apply to a TV programme from any source including online content providers.
The value VM has is that separate broadband link directly into Tivo, if VM can use that to give on-demand access to content form anywhere, they really start to break the link from channels and gives them a distinct advantage over the competition especially for HD streaming without having to wait for the download.
How the search database would work for this I cannot see right now (search request could be to a VM server which does the real search for you and then presents findings back to Tivo?) but something is covered on the USA Tivo premiere aas that searches multiple film content providers now.
