I am not making it a competition. I had TiVo for many many years, I was part of the staff Alpha/Beta trials a year before it actually got released and in September cancelled and Got Q.

I am speaking as someone who loved TiVo for a long time but now using Q it is just so much easier to use and so much better.

The WiFi mesh network thing has also been a fantastic addition and something VM and TiVo just can't offer.

4 tuners for recordings is also more than enough. Not once have I found I have run out of tuners, mainly because any catch up or On Demand content such as movies will download to the box so that I can watch anytime I want so do not really need to record them, but they are treated like recordings due to being stored on the box.
