There is a commercial skip feature in Tivo? One that reads the split second black screen before and after a commercial break and then skips everything in between? How do you enact it? My dad would love to have it.
Also, I didn't read anything about the 30 second skip button being removed. Just the automatic commercial advance.
And as far as "slick interfaces" go...yep, my tech-challenged 60 year old father can use his Tivo decently. But, I can do the same things with my Replay with a lot fewer movements(and fewer cutesy icons).
The biggest difference to me is that I can go into my Replay's set-up and change from a cable box, to a satt. box or whatever without having to wait 8 hours for the channel guide information to show up. What is that?
They also won't stop show sharing until they remove the network connectivity (yeah, right) or start encrypting the saved shows to keep people from pulling them off onto their compruters. The only thing that has been done here is to redirect the hounds to the end users that continue to trade shows.
