It was a lot more than that!
If you look at any of the options beyond the main epg page, such as the manual record option or the settings option for example they are very similar to the old series 1. You could set up series links and programme recordings, 30 second skip and fast forward in exactly the same way. It also had the same sound effects.
So without the series 1 platform your VM TiVo would arguably not exist in it's current form.
Up until last year as far as I know you could still use it with an alt epg hack/ cache card to enable the current programme information to be downloaded over a phone line.
