Well, soon from now they'll have 3.8 million 'subscribers' via VM.

Plus customers from Spanish cable operator ONO and from Canal Digital (Nordic countries).

No wonder their focusing on supplying software to other platforms with Quarterly results like today's.

I'd actually put reminders (and all existing V+ HD functionality) above a Dynamic EPG. Firmware updates should be able to fix both issues.

The lack of a TiVo at my home is another issue, but that's for another thread.
