None of that is surprising, it has all been known for a while in TiVo circles. There is *no* network connectivity in the OCAP software, at least at this point. So *all* features that use the network - Rhapsody, Unbox, Live365, Fandango, etc, are not going to be there. You really can't expect the cable software to support Unbox of course - but it does support Comcast VOD/PPV services.
It isn't an 'overlay' on the Motorola DVR OS either. There is a basic OS on the box which provides the OCAP layer. The TiVo software runs as an OCAP (well, not quite full OCAP yet, it is a precursor to OCAP) application. But it replaces the existing DVR software. That's not news at all - it has been known for about a year that it was OCAP based.
Also, the TiVo up-charge from Comcast is $2.95/month, not $6. I have no idea where he got that.
And some of what he said is just FUD - like the Firewire comment. No one has said anything about it being disabled.
And he's bitching about the extras - all the core TiVo functionality - Season Passes, Wishlists, etc - are in there.
