For me, the 3 tuners make a massive difference; many of the new shows are in the 9-10pm slot and with 2 tuners, clashes are more likely.
Equal with 3 tuners are whishlists. All the forthcoming 2012-2013 new US shows that I am interested in are already set to automatically record via a whishlist, even though they are not on the EPG, and may not be for several months. I also have whishlists for my favourite actors, or films I'd like to see again, which will automatically record when they turn up on the EPG.
Tivo will automatically look for repeat showings in the event of recording clashes. The ability to set 'New only' in recording settings is usefull; saves you getting repeat showings of previous seasons that you've already seen.
There are other things like intelligent search, a list of all the upcoming showings of a specific episode, full season and episode listings of a show, cast details and other shows they have been in with an easy way to set up a whishlist. A direct link to youtube for a show found in a search or the 'explore this show' screen. Suggestions for similar shows to the ones you watch, which can be automatically recorded if you want.
That is just some of what tivo offers.
