TiVo Premiere can also search for TV shows, video podcasts and radio on the Internet.
That says to me Hulu, and possibly other TV sources (perhaps it will include network's own sites). There technically is already a video podcast feature on TiVo, however you can't search with and, and CP and I have never been able to get it to work right. And "radio" probably means Pandora, live365, and such. Again, some of that already exists to some degree on TiVo, but with very inconvenient interfaces.

The magic would happen if they manage to provide all of that with the quality and ease of navigation that their primary features already have. If they can do that, they've got something. Again, not enough for someone like me, who already has all of that functionality on my TV screen via the ultimate interface - a web browser. But knowing how great it is to HAVE that kind of we content available on the TV screen, instead of having to gather around an office chair or a laptop, I definitely can see the draw.
