The software itself continues to steadily improve - though never as fast as some would like. :-) Well, if your RTV is still working, you might wait for the Seires3 later this year – dual tuners, HDTV, etc. :-)

I didn't even realize that TiVo already had this feature and there are probably alot more that I don't know about. I love my ReplayTV, but now that they are no longer making new ReplayTV boxes (just the hardware), I think it's time to take the leap and get a TiVo.

TiVoMatic icons - on some promos, usually NBC, you'll see "Press Thumbs Up To Record" and pressing thumbs up jumps straight to the recording screen to setup a recording for that show, get a Season Pass, etc. It has been in TiVo's software for a long time, available to any network that wants to use it. They also do promos in the Showcases or TiVo Central Promos and they can have a similar recording option to jump right to recording from the promo. TiVo doesn't need to copy this - they invented it.
