Remember the hardware in the VM TiVo is now over 5 years old. So its never going to be ultra fast.
I personally don't think that a few seconds access time really counts as a wide spread nationwide issue.

Fundamentally, the Sky+HD hardware is 6 years old too (first DRX890's came out in 2010 - there are older models but this is essentially the model still used today) but it hasn't slowed down to the extent that TIVO boxes have in a similar time frame.
The TIVO box app idea seemed great at the time (and it was much faster at the time!) but a more integrated system like Sky use would probably have been better in the long term. Most people I know say the TIVO on-demand apps are painfully slow to load and then often don't work anyway.
