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.
