Rushed release..
As it was around a year from announcement to launch (more, actually, if you only count the offical, generall release) then your comment makes no sense.

has meant that the box is getting very mixed reviews..
Mixed, maybe, but mostly positive from the ones I've read. Over on the AV Forums, they gave it their highest-possible award; Reference Standard.

Other than the fact that the original Tivo launched here in 2000, you mean?

Yes, it has limited success but that was only because Sky were in charge of it over here, and they screwed-it over in favour of their own Sky+.
