Faster GUI, whether that is via better CPU/GPU and RAM or just optimising the TiVo OS.

I know of other providers that have plans to put cloud storage in place.

I'm sure all the providers will move in this direction going forward , the harder part will be getting the rights in place.
Agreed, but terms will need to be acceptable. For example, how long will we be allowed to keep them and how many recordings will be allowed?

And it will be the right's holders that will be trying to keep that to as small a length of time as possible and as few recordings as possible. Many people like to store up a full 22 episode season before starting to watch and take over a year to start to watch. And what about adds? will or will they not include them? At least with a hard disc recorder you can fast forward them. Both systems have their negative and positive aspects.
