While I have a TivoHD and do enjoy it, I have to say I'm rather disappointed with the product. The hardware is overpriced for what you get. The monthly subscription fee is way too high, yet offers little in return. The UI is archaic at best. While it's nice they offer regular software updates, they don't tackle the easy low lying fruit.
Why can't I see what's recording in the program guide? Tivo's been around for how long and they still don't do this? My old ReplayTV had this feature.
With the UI they've had forever, why are they only NOW getting around to developing some sort of wireless keyboard interface?
How about more modern hardware? Larger drives, maybe even hot swappable expansion, utilize more advance compression to store more on the drives, tru2way, built in wifi, etc.
On a more basic level, a more up to date and ACCURATE program guide would be nice.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

@(Unverified) All the above in addition to rebuilding the UI to take advantage of HD screens.
