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.
By 3.8m 'subscribers' I assume you mean when VM migrate everyone over to the platform?

Remember that only 1/4 of the current customer base even have V+ 5 years after it was introduced so it's safe to say a large proportion of that figure will not be PVR customers so I doubt they will expect to pay a subscription because they are forced to use a new platform.

And even the most optimistic of us know that it will surely be some years before everyone moves over to Tivo.

I agree it's a smart move for them to look to Europe, it's clearly on it's way out over there as people prefer cheaper, more mainstream equipment.
