Saving an extra few seconds is always nice, a few seconds may not seem like a lot (or maybe it does!) but they add up.

If this saves you 30 seconds twice a week for a year thats 52 minutes you can now spend doing other things such as watching TV (or, heaven forbid, exercise or both simultaneously!). :P

They can make 10 times faster, but unless they fix the problem that Cable Companies are starting to use Switched Video, which is incompatible with TiVo, then they are going to loose business.
Work on getting ALL the channels on offer, then you can work on speed and VOD.
Personally, I'd prefer cable companies to use the Switched Video for VOD and PPV instead, and leave plain channels alone. Just add all of the available channels. I'm still waiting for Charter to add SciFi-HD

The software Tivo uses addresses that problem so Tivo will be here to stay. Yes Tivo does offer the new HD boxes so you don't have to rent them from your cable company. I was a beta tester for the past year and the new services coming are great, I can't say anything more than that as I signed an agreement with them.
