Glad you are enjoying your new toy. I had two. Gave one to my son (an Apple fanboy) who does not use it and packed the other one in a box. Both were steeply discounted as part of promotions, so I do not feel too bad about that. I could never get used to the remote.
Rovi's crimes against humanity are well known in these parts -- from macrovision to their OTA guide service to their crappy EPG to their gutting of TiVo. I might have missed a few. I am a little surprised TiVo still exists, to be honest. I figured Rovi would part it up, cash in on the IP and let a TiVo spinoff wither. With the launch of the TiVo branded streamer, we may be entering that process. Like you, I have gotten sufficient value out of my TiVos to be OK with this.
