If you mean 7 key presses to get back to live TV, that is not correct. Just press the ‘TV’ button (next to the ‘Home’ button on the right of the remote) and you are there.

So does the 360. The automatic padding is a good feature because most people don’t think to add padding and just moan that their recordings don’t always start from the beginning. So it is more user friendly. Obviously, you can choose to remove the padding if you don’t want it.

OK, but to the best of my recollection, that wasn’t the case when I last used the TiVo software.

Agreed.
Basically, if you are wedded to the additional features of the TiVo software, fair enough, stick with it. The reason I came in here was simply to say that for most people, this was not so critically important that a change to the 360 was a ‘downgrade’. It is different, that’s all, but the 360 does contain some up to date features that the V6 doesn’t have.
I get it that some of you like to mess around with the various settings and the technical aspects of the TiVo, but I think that most of the population out there subscribes for the content, not the geeky special features of the box.
