Buying Tivo Premiere XL

I have placed an order for a Tivo Premiere XL. It duplicates some of the functions of the Vizio Blu-ray player but should provide a more integrated viewing experience. I think that the streaming content will be presented along side the broadcast content rather than requiring the selection of a separate device. The Tivo also supports more streaming content than the Vizio.

I ordered the wireless interface with the Tivo even though I have had inconsistent performance with the Vizio wireless connection. If wireless on the Tivo does not work well, I will send the adapter back and buy some power line Ethernet adapter.

I will make posts about my experience with the Tivo.
