It still sounds like it can't compete with Sky Q at all in terms of features. ie the WiFi boosting of all boxes and built in powerline. Soon to be enabled voice searching as well. Also its still only 1Tb which says to me 4K will be limited to On demand and Netflix/YouTube.

Let's see: Much faster, 6 tuners, streams to tablets (for those who need that). Works for me.


Same interface as the current Tivo; not a problem for me; I'm no longer six years old and need pretty pictures! This interface will eventually be replaced by the Horizon interface, so why waste money designing a new Tivo one?


Voice search; I have that on my Amazon FTV and never use it; nice, but hardly essential.


I agree on the hard disc size, but isn't a 2tb version rumoured? The biggest problem is not moving completely to mpeg4
