There are a few software features that I miss from my DTV / Tivo days vs. FiOS:
1 - The ability to create wishlist automatic recordings. I could create a Season Pass for a keyword such as "Corvette" and the DVR would record any shows with the keyword in the title or program description.
2 - The ability to jump to a specific date in time in the guide.
3 - The ability to view upcoming shows for a Season Pass from the Season Pass Manager (Series Manager). This is a big one for me because it's a PITA to have to search for a show so I can see upcoming episodes when it's already in my Series Manager.
Verizon hereby has my permission to add these features to future software releases. 
I'll add some more as I think of them. What are yours?

None.
But I do have a few questions and comments, as I have never had a Tivo:
re #2: How do you jump to a specific date in time in the Guide, and how far out, in days, can you go on a Tivo? Just curious, because I can easily jump a day at a time in the FiOS Guide, out to the limit of how many days are available, usually 12 for me.
re #3: Again, how do you do it on a Tivo, and how far out can you go? With FiOS, once I have scheduled a series, it is easy to see all episodes scheduled, but only within the time limit of the Guide currently stored in the DVR, again usually 12 days for me.
I think there may be additions/enhancements to these functions coming in the new 1.9 level of the IMG that is beginning to roll out.
Just curious, thanks for any feedback.

Actually these two functions are on the DTV DVR (Not sure about Tivo)

There was an option on the guide and it would bring up a list by day and hour. You could use the up and down arrows to select the day and time to jump. Usually, you could jump about 12 days ahead. Whatever guide data was available at the time.

How? Other than looking at View Schedule which brings up all shows. What I’m talking about is going into Series\SP manager, picking a show, and listing all the upcoming episodes of just that show.

That would be cool. I’m looking forward to it.
Oh yeah, recorded programs were / are divided into 15 minutes segments and you could skip forward 15 minutes at a time while watching a recorded program. That was

I believe there is a similar function in IMG 1.9 (someday)
