- Four tuners (record four shows at once)

I remember a previous survey a month or two, maybe 3, ago asked the general question of if I'd be interested in a 4 tuner TiVo that supported OTA, to which I emphatically answered YES! (No OTA is the ONLY reason I haven't purchased an XL4 yet.)
But I don't remember any detailed questions like the ones you indicate in any previous (and definitely not this month's) survey.

This same question was asked in the advisors panel survey I took today. The choice was 1-not likely to 11-definitely likely. I answered 11.

The 11 caught me off guard. Why include 11? So people have to select more one side or the other?

Actually going from 1 to 11 is good. Most surveys go from 1 to 10, which forces me to choose whether I like it or not, even if I have no opinion. By going to 11, if the person has no preference he can choose 6, which is neutral.

Maybe Nigel Tufnel designed that part of the survey.

Survey designers like to avoid perfectly neutral because it is rare that someone is exactly in the middle. Many times survey takers use the middle option as the easy way out. Tivo wants to learn from the variance, not fence straddlers.

I hate surveys that leave out the middle. For me it is usually less about fence straddling and more that I truly don't care about the feature. I would never use it, but I can see how others might so I am not going to say I dislike it because it makes sense. I guess I am too practical and should focus more on what I want when it comes to these surveys.

There should be an answer I don't care about a question. IE: I don't have Netflix streaming so asking me questions about Netflix streaming would be meaningless to me.

Yes I like it when they have a non-applicable (N/A) answer and would think they would want to give people that the question doesn't apply to a way to easily not answer it, otherwise their answer mess up the data.

Survey time again. This time about streaming services and original programs on them.

Makes me wonder if they are trying to determine which apps to focus on.
As far as I'm concerned, they need to improve Netflix, add Amazon Prime, and nix hulu plus.

So agree with this. They can add Crackle too.

I somewhat agree and curious about what Tivo is trying to accomplish with the survey unless they are being compensated for the data. I responded thusly:
"I'm glad TiVo is looking at streaming services but most people have given up on TiVo for that. We have media players which stream better than TiVos. TiVo should concentrate on improving the streaming of onDemand services from cable providers since TiVos are used in lieu of DVRs and set top boxes that provide onDemand access."

Sometimes it seems like they just run a survey because someone is being paid to run a survey (or they have the capability so why not use it?).
I do think with the new platform Tivo will be able to finally be a streaming type device similar to Roku. The new Netflix app should be able to run fast and be usable.

Getting a streaming service to support something that will potentially expand their market is a far different proposition from convincing a cable provider to develop/support something which makes it less likely that someone will need one of their over-priced STBs.
