Non-linear
Pretty much. There's 4 different ways to end it, Though once you start one, it locks out the others.
But you can wander freely, until you do start one.

From tescos. Not bad. And there's a new UI that's supposed to be coming sometime soon.
Only bug I've seen is in the names of recordings, when you watch another channel while recording. It records the name of the channel you're watching.
I don't get the HD channels yet, but that's because of a filter on my aerial rather than the box.
The remote's better on the HD model too. and has an additional power button that works with my TV.
'Personally I think MS were beyond utterly moronic to use a hypervisor that required VT for Win7 as the whole point of the feature was to allow people to migrate WITHOUT shelling out on expensive new hardware!'
Nope. The point was to run windows XP only applications, on Windows 7. Nothing to do with performance.
The key is generated from a passphrase.
Well, It's a /little/ more complex, with the key the data is encrypted with being kept on the server, but encrypted with the passphrase that you provide. but that passphrase never leaves you. Which means that Mozilla never have a chance to look at your data, without having to commit a lot of resources to crack it. (No encryption is perfect. It's all a matter of making it too expensive, or take too long, to be worthwhile)
You need to provide a username, a password, and an encryption passphrase. The first two are used to retrieve the encrypted data. The last is to then decrypt and use it.
Oh, and if you're bothered about storing it in 'the cloud', stick it on your own server. It's simple to set up. And if you're really bothered about mozilla stealing it, well, they have easier ways. like building it into the binary releases of the browser itself.
It's encrypted on the server, and the key for decryption never leaves your machine. And as it's AES-256, it's pretty secure ;)
Just downloads in an encrypted form, and is then decrypted on the client. This is why you can't do what XMarks does and view it on their website.
Oh, and it's dead easy to set up your own server if you want to. php, and mysql or sqllite
One downside of just forking it, is that you wouldn't be able to buy a commercial license for the forked version. It'd be GPL or nothing. Only reason they can sell the commercial licensing, is that they own the copyrights. (I'd assume there's an implicit transfer, when you submit a patch.)
Which isn't quite so good, if you're embedding it.
