I suppose that used to be the case 8-10 years ago, but they've simply done the bare minimum since first launching, and they've essentially only updated their software once in the last decade.

I still love Tivo and maintain that there's no better way to experience TV if you watch a lot of it, but the experience could be so much better.

It really irritated me when their press announcement for the Tivo Premiere was preceded by teasers claiming "Inventing the DVR was just a warm-up." Regardless of whether that's true or not, it was a huge let-down when they announced such a minor iteration on their product. I think the Preview box is far more impressive.
