Why does it take so long to activate a Mini?

I mean it should be bim, bam, boom. 24 hours? What do they do during that time? Are their back end systems all running on Tivo Premieres?



I know. I know. IT's Tivo. I should expect no less than this sort of molasses of a process. I mean their website is slow. They are slow to deliver promised features. Why should I expect activation to be quick?



I shouldn't. I just had to vent. 1st world problems.
