I know you can't choose a new V+ - but what is the Samsung like? Is it faster that the SA - changing channels I can live with, but actually seeing it try to draw the black box, and grey border, then add the text when you press i - in a longer time that it takes to type this - is painful.

Slightly smaller both in length and height. No vents in the top - sides only where the SA has vents on the top and sides. Lights a darker blue so not so bright and definitely quieter. Faster changing between channels and seems quicker on menus as well.
The tech for my area said it's rare he carries any SA boxes anymore unless specifically requested so I suspect they may be slowly going out of circulation and hopefully you'd get a Samsung. As I said, I like what I know so I'd hoped for an SA, but am now glad I got the Samsung. It's just neater where I want it.
The one hiccup it has is it doesn't properly update the 'hours available' when recording HD - so be aware you may have more or less recording time than it shows. It usually updates itself correctly when deleting an SD recording. This is apparently a known issue and due for an update 'soon'.
