That could be some way off yet,as virgin are still issuing samsung V+ boxes to customers with V+ boxes that have a fault,i got one a couple of months ago.

Unless of course the samsung V+ box supports MPEG-4.

But will happen eventually.

The Samsung V+ set top box does support MPEG-4

I've read some where that sometimes the suggested records cause clashes with planned records and can take preferance.

I'll be 100% honest with no bias as I'm a Sky customer , the difference between V+ and TIVO is immense , my parents got one installed yesterday so obviously it had the latest software installed and I can say with 100% confidence that the box was quick , the PQ on SD was excellent in my opinion and the many advanced functions are also very good , if I had to call one thing about it , it would be the ugly SD screens but thankfully these are mainly hidden. Your only concern would be reminders or Sky Sports red button as the TIVO currently doesn't have this feature but should do soon.

It does support MPEG-4 and so does the Cisco V HD box.

I think what you mean is that the boxes are backwards compatible :erm:

Well thats the thing with the extra recorder, more hd content and suggestions and seeing what is on-catchup. I figured I would just pay the extra now than have to pay again later when I find that I'm running out of space. Looking forward to paying around with the iphone app, connecting it to my lan and my wife is looking forward to being able to see what series/episodes she is actually recording/watching and being able to record more burn notice/ncis etc.

Agree It's more future proof with channels going HD now a days and with Virgin Media on track to deliver 80 HD channels in 2 years.
