Disable apps, suggestions & wishlists and stop people going back in time on the EPG? Then it would be functionally similar to the V+ (although season-pass would be a bit beefed up in comparison to V+).

Or give people a V+ back without charge if they want it - but can't see this one happening. I'm sure VM want the hardware phased out, not on its way back to customers further down the line.

With regard to guide information - the actual information is pretty much the same as what the V+ gets now. Its the cleverness that TiVo achieves with that data that is the feature, not the data itself.
