Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler New TiVo--what do you guys think?

As a Tivo fanatic who owns an S3 (lifetime) and an aging (but upgraded via HDD) S2DT, I say 'Meh.'

Their press teaser made it sound like a big deal.

These are Tivo HD and XL's with a new GUI, that we won't get on our S3's. We are 'supposed' to get Pandora and FrameChannel. I do like the new GUI, it'd be nice to have the video playing while you're going through menus. I still wonder if they upped the PowerPC CPU, but they didn't even mention it. That would've been a big deal.

I will be getting a new plasma soon and will need a new Tivo for it. I'll probably go with the Premiere and find some Weaknees tools to up the HDD myself to 2GB, which IIRC is what the HD XL can do.

The remote is cool but it's almost like they copied the Boxee one. I can do w/o the Bluetooth remote because I use DVRemote on my iPhone which provides the keyboard functionality for free.
