Also regarding your earlier post. A stb is not like a phone or computer, it doesn't need upgraded or replaced every 12-24 months. It still performs the same tasks it did a few years ago.
Since release it has had many software updates that improve the performance and is a much better product now than when initially released.

We'll have to agree to disagree. The tick, tick, tick of an HDD, even a good one, is very audible to me. Especially when it turns on and off at times of it's choosing. But also, it's just not needed or wanted. The TiVo Mini exists, and why would anyone, out of choice, be managing recordings on several different TiVos in one home?
I also have to disagree about the performance and capabilities of the box. Peoples attitudes to UI performance have changed ENORMOUSLY in recent years as their day to day experience is set more by smartphones and tablets than earlier cable boxes and video recorders. Even modern Smart TVs are having to up their game. The current TiVo performance is a relic of a bygone era! Also, boxes like the Roamio Pro have the greater number of tuners needed to be used for the whole home.
