Assuming your talking about std Sky+ then the difference is astronomical

Sky+ via analogue scart will be barely watchable on H/Def TV

V+ via upscaled digital HDMI is best possible SD picture you're likely to see

Actually you've dropped on V+ massive boo-boo/bug

Whilst you can rewind TV, unlike any other PVR you cant record the programme???????

V+ only record/save from when you actually press 'record'

Irony is it actually has the whole programme recorded in the buffer (so you can rewind) but it just "dumps" it

A chimpansee could fix it but VM can't be bothered
