These are nice add-on's, and it's starting to become a little more clear as to where tivo is heading (in my mind anyways).
However, until they get the next version out with a faster system, HD and CableCard, this just isn't going to be able to see it's full potential.
I was just reading in Wired that Steven Soderbergh is releasing his next movie to DVD, Cable, and the theaters all at once. TiVo needs to hop on board, allow a free copy to be downloaded that can't be transfered via TivoToGo and one that can be transfered and burned to DVD for a price.
I'm not a fan of DRM by any means, but TiVo does seem to be trying to open up to a wider public by allowing transfer to PSP and iPod Video, and as long as the general consumer is happy, DRM will be around in someformat. If TiVo can get in with the studios now and have a system set to download and buy movies when their next unit comes out (NetFlix deal is dead, right), they might be able to steal some market share from Stevie.
