The issue is Tivo works on assuming a “perfect source of information” which is not reality and it handles the lack of specific programme content information poorly.
I am actually looking forward to content based searching which is really of use i.e. when Tivo has access to content based sources rather than channels. On the subject of movies for example, I remember a demo of the Tivo Premier in the USA search for movies across all its sources namely Netflex as well as channel sources, so searching for content from any source.
Happy when Tivo gets there, but still waiting and content access to films is just one area I feel Tivo is looking like it is getting left behind with TV/Xbox/PS3 having film access sources and then I also have to watch those iPad users travelling back on the train from London watching their programmes taken from their Sky box. Catch-up please Tivo!

What programmes do Sky users get on their iPads?
