That is a very good point. The TiVo box was like a whole new animal when being controlled from the iPad. Suddenly everything became super quick and navigating the menus became a pleasure rather than a chore.
TiVo & iPad owners will be in for a treat if VM ever manage to get that app launched!

Re: TiVo performance.
What people have to understand is that using a Tivo is like making love to a beautiful woman. You have to take your time

I do like it really, as I have said elsewhere, it has potential.
However the Wife hates it (too confusing) and there are a number of improvements they need to make for it to really rock my world such as a dynamic EPG and making VOD slicker and easier to actually watch as there are far too many button presses before you actually get the content.
I am leaving VM as soon as practical though as the package as a whole has been a let down and performance inconsistent. The potential of TiVo is not enough to keep me as a customer I'm afraid.

Isn't it funny how everyone that doesn't have it says that?
I loved Game of Thrones and got to watch all of the Battlestar Galactica series that I missed first time round so I liked it. I haven't missed it while I have been with VM but then I consider myself a "balanced" individual who doesn't tend to get over excited about things like a TV channel when there is more important things in life to worry about.
