Note that the TiVo Central menu is off one of the DVD TiVo units - Humax I think.

It looks like they lifted the menus off a real TiVo, then Photoshopped them as needed.

Besides the fonts, I also noticed that the menu items were out of order. It looks like it's mostly sorted by date, but some other dates are thrown in randomly.
