TiVo isn't going anywhere any time soon. It is needed for people who have no broadband, no HDMI, or want more than 3 TV boxes.
Thanks for the insight. I remember talk of Haxe now.

I'm looking forward to finding out more about the IPTV product when it launches as it could be a potential successor, depending to the breadth of services that will be replicated from the 360. I guess it wouldn't resolve the cap on having three other boxes though.
