Usability tweaks in the Series 3 Remote – “Again, maybe it’s just me and I realize these may sound like minor quibbles, but I definitely feel like the new remote isn’t as easy to use and I’m constantly looking down at the remote to make sure I’m hitting the right button, which is something I haven’t had to do in years with the previous TiVo remote designs. I’d love to hear the reasoning behind the change in the button layout.”

New is obviously new, but new isn’t necessarily better.
