Is that a "from experience" comment or a wild guess? There was an article somewhere on why the UK port of the iPad app has taken so long but I can't remember where I read it

At first VM said that TiVo Commander not working was an unfortunate side effect of the 'upgrade' and totally unintentional. They'd work to to fix it in the next update (ha, ha !). Then they has to admit it was intentional and the main reason for the 'upgrade'.
Fair enough; and now I think about it I seem to remember reading that somewhere at the time.

Sounds reasonable to me, though. I wouldn't want anything to possible break my Tivo

There was probably a commercial reason behind it which we'll never know..
So just more speculation then.
