As a household we don't watch a lot of TV but I can understand others find the TiVo box important. The on demand/catch-up TV along with the 2TB hard disk (1.5TB for downloads/recordings and .5TB for sky showcase type stuff) along with the series link recording and reminders is enough for us. Saying that the remote record has been used along with zeebox for a tv guide/changing channels. The android sky go app has also been used to stream channels. We went from M+ on VM which shows the importance put on TV here. Getting all the extra channels when we switched was just a nice bonus.
TiVo was more than ahead of its time. Remember reading about it many years before virgin installed it although it has evolved a lot from the digital recorder it first appeared as.
