I suggest we all wait & see,what is delivered .
The Red button on TiVo is a case in point at the MOMENT it is inferior to the service offered by the V+( The Red Button that is). That is not to say that the TiVo cannot be a much better box. People that have not grown up with the V series PVRs ( Or for that matter Sky) Will I am sure find it to be great.
As do people that did not use the Red BBC button or rely/use reminders. How ever there are a group & I included myself in this,that have, had a number of boxes from Virgin( NTL , CableTel ) over the years & find that they used both of these a lot. Given the hyp of Tivo has the red button now.As apposed to its reality- very limited services. I think wait & see is the only path to follow. However past experience tells me not to hold my breath.
Sorry if that is taken as whinging. I prefer to think of it as experience over hope.
