Thanks for clarifying .... given the choice i would rather stick with a V+ as long as possible if they are going to charge to record and have 3 tuners on the Tivo .. poor decision IMHO by VM

Addition

I can see it now ... 2011 and a couple million subscribers sign up for full tivo @ £3 a month ... 2013 .. the bombshell VM announce an increase to £5 a month ... 2015 another bombshell an increase to £7 a month ...

dont wish to speculate and scaremonger at all ... but with the old tivo s1 charging £10 a month ten years ago (i believe thats what i read) i can see VM milking a cash cow in the future with price hikes for those just wishing to be able to record the tv
