The problem is that 360 is substantially different ( worse imho), and wipes all recordings. So they need 'customer buy in' before proceeding otherwise a lot of unhappy punters. If they've agreed to it then they've no comeback. Hence all the constant misleading 'upgrade' coms , and blackmail about missing channels/apps. It's 'entrapment', will you fall for it ?

I think that most people don’t worry about changing their services, boxes or appliances until they break down.

Whatever new box you transfer to, you will lose your recordings, but you can still see them on demand. That’s what I did when I downloaded my 360 software.
The 360 has advantages that the TiVo doesn’t have, and the TiVo has some that the 360 doesn’t. But for most of us, the disadvantages are not significant at all.
Of course it’s an upgrade. You get the benefit of the things that are genuinely useful and that most people expect or want from modern boxes these days on the 360 (such as voice control and profiles) that are not on TiVo, and the features people used to moan about, such as the lack of a ‘suggestions’ folder have been rectified.

Change isn’t always better and everyone feels differently about it. That goes for everything in life, not just tech.
