But it's not fast and simple is it.
If you want to watch a program you currently have 3 places to look for it, the EPG, catch up on demand, tv choice on demand.
Fine if you know which of those you'll find it under, but if you don't? Welcome to the hell of scrolling through countless lists.
Tivo = search and you'll find it wherever it is. Have you tried using the epg search on the V+? Slow isn't a word I'd use to describe it, barely moving is far more apt.
People always moan about missed recordings as well, if something changes channel your season record on V+ won't pick it up (how many people's season records were messed up when BBC 1 HD launched moving programs from BBC HD onto that?) but your TIVO will, because it's season passes aren't just a case of "we'll keep checking this channel" it checks EVERYWHERE to find episodes for you.
You don't even need to find somewhere it's on, if you want to record all of a show, it'll find every single episode it can, on whatever channel it can, and record them for you. Try doing that with your "easy to use" V+.
It's not a matter of Tivo doing a ton of things that V+ can't, it just does a ton of things far better and quicker. If you're happy with how the V+ does it that's simply because you haven't experienced how Tivo does it. It completely removes the concept of channels and differing on demand sections.
