Which V+ though? The scaler in the SA V+ was excellent and made SD much sharper than the TiVo. This is on a Panasonic 42V20B.

TiVo now auto-switches between 720p for SD and 1080i for HD, which is a little better, but still not as good as the SA V+. The SA scaler was much shaper than my TVs built in scaler!

The only thing is the padding isn't intelligent enough to remove requested padding if there's no tuners free, it pops up a box saying you can either turn over or cancel the recording... so you need to switch over, wait for the 2 minutes padding (or whatever) to record then turn back when the tuner is free. At least the V+ cancelled the padding if it caused a clash.

This change from the way V+ handled padding is a major bakwards step in my view.

If you do nothing or it's not switched on (in standby), then it will change channels to record. It's less of an issue with the 3 tuners ;)

What DF said :)

After one minute the box chooses the default action of turning over the channel to record.

So, if you've got 2 programmes back to back on different chanels, both with 5 minutes padding before and after (what I currently use), what happens?

The V+ will drop the padding and switch at start of the second programme. What will TIVO do, assuming the other two tuners are tied up recording something else?

You would have to watch one or cancel one or let both record and watch a show already recorded, that is until we get three tuners.
