I seem to remember thinking that there was nothing on the Horizon box that couldn't be added to Tivo, but there were things on Tivo that couldn't be added to Horizon because of patent restrictions.
Had Tivo around two years, and only recently bothered with wishlists.

Just needs a rocket up its backside and more up to date EPG system, decent apps that aren't sluggish to load up and use.

Since having the Tivo have had 4 Tivos and lived in 4 different areas, 3 in Brum, 1 in Telford, all are clunky. Been to friends of friends who have Tivo too and there's is the same, just not slick enough. I'm so use to pressing a button and my other boxes instantly responding.
