How many? do you have percentage figures for those who actually have Tivo?

It's not the all singing all dancing box it was made out to be.
What features that it was advertised as having does it not have?

What features are missing that you think it should have?

Let down by an EPG that is often out of date.
I can't think of the last time I had a problem (if I've even had any at all) with the EPG.

Clunky compared to satellite boxes that are nice and slick.
It's easy to make a PVR more slick if it doesn't have much functionality.

I'd take a PVR with more functionality, even though it may take a few more menu presses, over a PVR with less functionality any day.

Mostly pointless apps that we never use and are too clunky and slow anyway.
Agree with you on the pointless apps. VM screwed up on that one.

Most people want a box that is slick and records the programmes they set to record, the Tivo is not slick and struggles to get recordings right.

Your evidence for this?
