i'd imagine very few people are upset about these. Just click tv and thats the stop button for example!

You always lose your recordings when you change boxes like i did previously going from tivo to the v6.

"Clunkier interface that often requires more button presses or using voice commands for simple tasks."

thats just personal opinion too. once youve used the 360 for a few days you find it a lot quicker in fact.
I agree, Vince, but I do acknowledge that for some people, it’s a real irritation not to have the TiVo features. But people outside this or other similar forums are unlikely to be bothered.

The fact remains that TiVo boxes will not be around for much longer, so the only option for them will be to buy a TiVo TV.

That’s because they want you to…stream!

Wouldn't it need access to the incoming cable feed to provide live TV?

Basically it depends on the value that people place on the missing features. For some, like myself, this is major, but others will only find it a little inconvenience and some not at all.

Like I say, in time it won't matter as both boxes are to be replaced by a streaming only box, which isn't for me. If Sky discontinue Sky Q, then Freely or the Humax recordable box is what I'll move to.
And what about when streaming is your only option? What don’t you like about streaming?
