All Australian "Freeview" endorsed products are limited to maximum of 30X fast forward and rewind speeds (including TiVo), this is one of the restrictions Freeview has imposed on all the manufacturers.

TiVo (and other some devices) have the ability to show a still Advertisement in a small box over the section you are fast forwarding.

At present this is only used in the US.

I'm sure TiVo would like to use it here, but don't know it would be allowed under the Freeview agreement as it partially blocks the Ad's.
