If VM brought a new box out annually, I'm sure you wouldn't be willing to pay the extra cost involved

I wasn't suggesting we should have a new box annually, but you could not have failed to notice the frustration many feel about Tivo speeds.
I assume that the VM Tivo is slow because it doesn't have sufficient memory to perform its many tasks.
If that is the case, it does rather show a lack of foresight. Hopefully, they will get this right with the new box and assume in its design that it will carry a range of streaming services as well as enabling us to save our programme preferences to the Cloud.
