If you are prepared to accept the limitations in certain areas of the TiVo box at present and teething problems then go for it.
Personally, I have never brought into brand new Tech as I like things to do what they are supposed to and it drives me potty if they do not. I will wait until all the currant issues are sorted and then I shall re-evaluate TiVo.

Re: sky sports red button
We’re giving you more control with Sky Sports red button.
Soon it will be even easier to catch your team on telly, thanks to the Sky Sports red button.
If they’re not showing on the main channel, all you need to do is press the red button on your remote control, and Bob’s your uncle, you can scroll through all the games and select your side. It’ll work for all 2011-2012 Barclays Premier League matches, plus any UEFA Champions League match, ATP tennis, US Open, Heineken Cup and more. Plus, your clever red button unlocks loads of news and stats, too. And an extra bonus, from late spring you can use it to track down smaller sports events, games or highlights, too. Just keep an eye out for the red button appearing on your Sky Sports premium channels. Nice one!

Re: sky sports red button
Thanks mate... hmmm... wonder if that actually does mean match choice or only the ability to use the red button on the match you're watching... it's not clear to me.
