I think it's worth expanding on "3rd Tuner support". If my reading of an earlier poster's comment is correct, you can actually record three things simultaneously. On the current TV Drive the third tuner can only be used for watching a live program.
If that's the case it will be really useful; I'm forever getting clashes around 9 or 10pm and having to do complicated shuffles to record series on +1 channels or manual deletes of the least important one. Having said that I think I read something else that said the Tivo would realise if there was a clash and reschedule one of the recordings for a repeat of that programme at a different time.
I can't remember being so excited about a piece of technology in a while. I've been on tenterhooks since November.
