However, there are some people (OLD BOY for example) who want Tivo to do everything and don't want to buy extra boxes or upgrade to a smart TV just for 'smart features'. For those people, IMHO opinion, 45 seconds is fine.

I bought the WDTV box just to get Netflix at 1080p and 5.1 audio. If Tivo had had Netflix at the time, and was not just restricted to UK Netflix, I would quite happily have lived with the TiVo's 45 second load time and not bought the WDTV.
Yes, it would be nice to have everything on one box, but even I am contemplating getting Fire TV or maybe a Smart TV with Amazon Instant included.

Streaming services is the answer, IMO, and so if VM provided the full range of streaming services available in their apps, I think the TIVO would be very popular indeed.
