VM need to do something soon in my opinion.

I would be very surprised if VM put the Premier software on a box that was less well speced processing wise than the US Premier hardware, but I don't know that for sure.

I don't find the speed of Tivo an issue; it works perfectly well for me. But others do.

It's five year old hardware so it is going to seem sluggish compared to recent boxes. And, Tivo does a lot more than any other PVR.

It probably is time for a refresh though. But given that cloud based PVRs are more than likely the future, but not quite there yet (more than likely due to resistance from content providers), it must be difficult to decide whether to go for a new interim traditional PVR.
