I've had my V+ box for a couple of months now. Aside from the initial issues I had getting all the channels (sorted with a couple of calls), it's not been bad.
There have been a few times where I've had to reboot (no biggie), and other times where On Demand hasn't worked - persistantly selecting the option bringing it up finally, on the whole I'm happy with it.
The picture looks great on my 32" Philips LCD TV, the upscaling makes the SD channels look great and the ONE HD channel is fantastic (when it's not airing a trailer). Before I got my HDTV I also found it cool that you can watch the HD channels in SD.
The slow channel changes take a bit of getting used to, but again, it's no biggie.
Overall, I'd say go for it. The software will be upgraded over time, why miss out on the PVR aspect for a couple of minor glitches that currently exist?
One last thing - yes, there are lots of problems that folks have had brought up on these forums, but like anything - good news is never reported!
