I agree fully with you about accepting TIVO is different , there are many things it does far better than the V+ and Sky+ for instance buffering on each tuner , never ending series links , remote record (something not possible on V+) , wishlists , multiroom streaming soon.

I went into the VirginMedia shop and had a quick play with a Tivo while the guy was sorting out the phone I was buying. I was well impressed. I might have to take the plunge. I'm guessing another 12m contract though?

You are right in that assumption.

Agree completedly, the only backward step with TiVo is VM is now charging £3 per box instead of per account:erm:

I have to use optical myself as my old amp does not have HDMI but works perfectly well and supports Dolby and DTS.

The only thing i think it needs is the option to create a wishlist for a specific series. Other than that it is a great feature.
