I quite agree. I almost wish there was a "basic" mode which strips the interface right down to the core features and apps, all on one page. Looking through the F11 SD menu relic from the US TiVo boxes, there is something called KidZone; maybe if that were adapted to be fitting to all age ranges, the learning curve could be reduced for the more luddite among VM's customer base.

That's your story and you're sticking to it!

Too true. When I lent the TiVo to someone else in the house for a month to see if they liked it, what I missed the most was fiddling around with settings and features to see what I found useful. Even now, learning how to create better WishLists etc is often more fun than what those lists actually record!
