I agree. I have said several times that I can't understand why someone who wants Netflix is waiting for it to be added to Tivo, especially as it has been a very long wait. Boxes such as the WD TV Live, are actually better for Netflix in that you can get other Regions on them. So unless their is a discounted price, then it is not a USP.


However some people do like the convenience of everything in one box, so it will be an added value convenience rather than a USP. And there is nothing wrong with added value convenience. The fact that Netflix titles will be included in any Tivo search is another nice feature.
