But people's expectations HAVE changed, greatly..... And rightly so. Old style STBs were (are) horrid.
The VM TiVo was better, in it's day, for sure, it's features are still pretty good, but it performs like a dinosaur. For example, I use it as much for Netflix as a DVR. Loading the app takes FOREVER!
