And concerning all this talk about downgrading from Tivo after the 12 months. In truth I find it shocking that they didn't plan ahead and make it so they could disable the features in parts i.e. keeping the v+ functionality for those who receive it for free in their existing packages (first box on VIP for example). No-one in their right mind would want to go from a V+ to Tivo and then to the functionality of a VHD 12 months later. Because they'd end up with a lesser service for the same price they were originally paying for it.
However keeping all that in mind it is fair enough if they'll do the box swap to a V+ for free. I'm just surprised they didn't think ahead in that respect.

I think at the moment we're all semi-guessing at that though. They've got 12 months to figure out what they're going to do and maybe there is the potential to downgrade it to a V+ type box without the full TiVo UI. I suspect they're banking on the fact we'll (if we're the lucky 'freebies') love it so much we won't mind the extra £3.
And certainly for me it looks like it will be cheaper to have one TiVo and 1 V+ than it was to have 2 V+'s
I think once the 'official' roll out comes (ie available to new customers) they will have the answers for this in place.
