... they're going to have to work on it.
Personally I think a combined DVD player, console and Tivo in one would be a killer. I seriously don't fancy paying out for three items of kit and having three boxes sitting underneath the television.
But, this isn't really Tivo functionality. Hell, I doubt I'd need all the stuff Tivo has, but recording, time stretching, on screen programming and on screen television guides are pretty much a must.
I'll watch the space.

Yeah, I mean TIVO will even record programmes that you don't even want to watch! BBC attacked for TiVo ploy
