The older non-recordable boxes could only tune to one TV channel so displaying the channel number worked. Even with the V+ HD boxes, there is only one live TV tuner and two separate recording tuners, so the number on the front showed what the Live TV tuner was set to show.

TiVo has three tuners all of which can record or show Live TV, so what you're actually watching can be on any of the three tuners - therefore you can't show three different channel numbers at the same time.
