No clock display.
What a shame that tivo has no clock display on the front of it. I personally find this usefull so will decline from getting one.
Like i say this is a personal opinion regarding a design feature that has been omitted.

Re: No clock display.
Is the OP for real???
They put clocks on VCR's because it was part of the timer function. With the TIVO it is all on screen, and there are plenty of screens with the time displayed.
Also the Sky box doesn't have a clock either.

Depends if he wants to miss out on all the features of Tivo (recording three programmes, easily searchable on demand and guid etc) just because it doesn't do something that he can use a £10 clock from Argos for..

I can't believe this guy is getting so much stick for this... it is definatley the reason i won't be swapping the V HD box in the bedroom for a TiVo, i love the clock feature. to be honest i did go looking for a dim green lcd clock for the bedroom once, and really couldn't find one, they all where bright red or looked like a neon sign outside a night club. I certainly hope The Samsung TiVo has a clock, and i bet you would all want one if it did.

Not at all. I have an alarm clock, a watch, a clock on my phone, and a clock on my TV, as well as one on screen through my TIVO. How many clocks do we need?

It won't, it will look the same. This is not to say any future TiVo's won't... who knows ..
