Also in South Manchester (Stockport).
I've voted no as VOD seems to work most of the time but it can take two or three attempts to get it to play anything sometimes. Having recently switched to V+, I'd say it's slightly less reliable on there than it was on the old Samsung 2100.
Biggest problem with VOD is the fact the content is very hit and miss. Some weeks stuff is added religiously, others nothing appears. Very annoying when you're in the middle of a series and rely on it to catch epsiodes on when you are out.
Maybe it's deliberate to get people to switch to V+
