They should really replace all the V+ boxes as people payed a premium, but we all know that is very unlikely to happen. I predict lots of people will report of their V+ breaking down in the coming months when the new box is announced.

all you will get offered is a direct replacement for another V+ box, a V HD box that are TiVO capable or to pay another premium to get the TiVO PVR box.
i do agree that all us who paid a premium for V+ should be offered some sort of discounted upgrade package but thinking logically i doubt we will as its from the early migrators to new techonlogy that VM will make the most money and afterall VM are all about making money.
i personally would love to have a TiVO box or or close to release but after paying £150 for my V+ box (over 2 years ago) i wont be paying another £150+ again in a hurry.
what is annoying is the fact the cheap V HD box is capable of running the TiVO EPG which means the premium customers have paid a pretty penny for a V+ box that is end of life and has no upgrade path where the standard non premium customers who spend less money in general and as such VM dont profit as much from have an upgrade path (should VM choose to use it) should VM choose to use it.
