Paging (or more likely in this case increased swapping to and from the disk) is just a symptom not the cause.
So are you saying that the new apps are running in memory and therefore reducing the amount of physical memory available to the normal TiVO process or have these apps taken up too much space on the disk reducing the available swap space?
The first would be a sign of poorly implemented code that has a memory leak or needlessly trying to run every app at once. The latter would be utter madness on a closed architecture device.
