Tivo User Experience Interview

The PVRBlog Interview: Ten Questions with TiVo's Director of User Experience, Margret Schmidt | PVRblog

I have to say that I really enjoy the Tivo UI as it is very simple and quite easy to use. MSN TV 2's is not bad, but could be better in my opinion. I especially like Tivo's Design Mantras:

It's entertainment, stupid.
It's TV, stupid.
It's video, damnit.
Everything is smooth and gentle.
No modality or deep hierarchy.
Respect the viewer's privacy.
It's a robust appliance, like a TV.
