Apps, which should be Tivo's best feature, are currently it's worst. I see no reason at all why they couldn't have loads of streaming channels available via apps, channels which don't appear on Virgin's channel line up but which are free to view over the internet. Russia Today and Deutsche Welle have both been mentioned on other threads-both are available as a free live stream on their respective websites. What is the actual difference between streaming this content to a laptop and displaying it via an HDMI cable on your TV and streaming the same content to a Tivo box via it's dedicated modem and displaying it via an HDMI cable on your TV?
