Is Iplayer/red button/reminders not working a 'core' functionality of TiVo?
That was the right thing to do; everyone won.

Those who wanted it early and were prepared to have it with a few features missing were happy and those who wanted it fully featured wait. They don't have to wait any longer than if Tivo had been held back until everything was done (but they'd still be waiting now, and some possibly still are). Meanwhile, I've had around 8 months of vastly increased functionality.

And Reminders being 'core' functionality on a PVR where all (3) tuners record, is wrong in my view. A nice extra; maybe, but not core; not if the PVR is being used as intended.

Completely agree. Then we get the Spotify app with no search or shuffle. It's a little worrying.
