No integrated WiFi: -10 No integrated Bluetooth: -5 Doesn't come with slider QWERTY remote even though its so heavily geared towards searching using an on-screen keyboard: -20 No DLNA (so I can stream movies from my computer without having to copy and wait for the full program onto the TiVo): -10

Tivo is a perfect example of great ideas and poor execution. Maybe then can take the $300M they're going to get from Echostar and finally hire some engineers (or pay their existing ones more) to produce a unit that is worthy of the TiVo name.
