Timing isn't a huge problem as TiVo does have hard padding as standard, and may even include some form of softpadding.

I agree FTA isn't enough on it's own, but the hopes are that this system (using Engin ADSL2+) will be an option to pay TV through it's download capabilities. New release movies will be available for (paid) download, as will other free and paid programming via the net. Making this TiVo more like an offline IPTV box.

PS. At least with channel 7 behind it the shows might run on time, at least on one channel
