I think this still might appeal to a few existing Tivo customers, but I can't see it making much of a dent in the HTPC niche market. Too few features for too much money.
But it is the first iteration so its always possible (and likely) that they will continue to add features and functionality down the road. It's just that BeyondTV, SageTV and Vista Media Center have a huge jump in this space - a lot of ground to make up for Tivo especially when they handicap themselves by making you transfer files between the boxes instead of actually streaming them...

It doesn't appeal to this existing Tivo customer. :(
