But there are other groups of people to whom Netflix is not essential, but they would like to have it if it was easily accessible. But of those people, not everyone has a smart TV, and won't go out and buy a new TV just to get the 'smart' features. I have two 40" Sony 'non-smart' TVs which give an excellent picture, so there is no way I would waste money buying a new TV just for the smart bit. There are millions of people like me who buy a new TV when they need one, not just when a new feature gets added, And then there is internet connectivity; not everyone knows how to hook up their smart TV to a router. With Tivo, you don't need a separate internet connection.
So for loads of people, adding Netflix to Tivo will be a good, worthwhile thing, not a worthless one
And there is one other advantage; Netflix titles will be include in Tivo show searches, with presumably a direct link to play the show via Netflix.

Netflix added to Tivo would certainly make things easier for some people.
Me personally i run a 10metre HDMI cable from my pc to my tv and i use my pc to watch Netflix , sometimes i use my PS3 too if that's already switched on.
As you also mentioned with Netflix titles being included in the Tivo listings search will be a huge advantage.
