Half the time the automatic download didn't work and I had to do it myself. Now it's all done through the wireless network every day, and I don't even notice it.

It checks more frequently for programming updates. Now, also, Tivo Media is available (that's not hte right name, but it's something like that) for free. That allows you to
a) program your tivo online (working late?)
b) share music files on your computer through Tivo
c) share photo files on your computer through tivo.
So, you can use Tivo as a media center if connected to your stereo and (duh) your tv.
Finally, if you get a second tivo, for $6.95/mo. you can transfer shows between the two units. My understanding is that on a wireless network you can't do transfers in real time, but on a solid wired network you can do realtime, or a bit faster, meaning no advanced thought is necessary, and you can still skip commercials.
