It is time for a forklift upgrade of the UI - dump it and create a new UI that sets a new high water mark. If TiVo doesn't other vendors will. One of the few things I actually like about the Digeo Moxi is the look of their UI. Next to TiVo it makes TiVo look like something out of the 90s - which it is.

And functionally this new UI offers a lot more, I already think I'll like it better than the existing one. I posted a lot of screencaps of the UI as I played with it: http://www.gizmolovers.com/2009/01/07/tivo-unveils-an-all-new-search-interface-which-is-familiar/

My main concern with this current UI is the show images across the top. My biggest pet peeve about TiVo is that I buy the box, pay for monthly service and then still get harassed by advertising throughout the menus. Those image across the top of the screen may start off as nice-looking shows you might be interested in, but I guarantee it is only a matter of time before they're advertising Tide up there.

I'd love TiVo to return to that innovative spirit that made them who they are, but for now the DirecTV DVR has over taken in terms of features and ease-of-use, while TiVo continues to add lipstick to a pig.
