I'm EXPECTING the Series 4 box, with some improved specs (including True2Way/SDV), a new HD user interface along the lines of the beta Tivo Search, and (the big reveal) some nicely integrated ad-supported streaming web video, including Hulu and the various network sites, and better integration for streaming movie rentals from Netflix/Amazon.
Basically, Tivo Search essentially becomes the new "Now Playing", with your recorded shows listed, and from which a search for, say, "Modern Family" will allow you to set a Season Pass, see past and upcoming episodes, and access any of those episodes which are recorded, or available on Hulu or ABC.com, or available for pay download from a service like Amazon.
I'm also HOPING for an official iPhone app, which mimics the functionality of the Apple Remote app, thereby allowing easy text entry, and which also allows remote DVR scheduling and control of your queue.
