Until you have used it and also until the third tuner is active I would not pass judgement. Yes the V+ let's you set priority for series links or one off recordings. However TiVo let's you choose priority over which series link in more important.
For me this has been much better, due to the 3 or 4 really important links being at the top of my list and stuff I want to record but am not as bothered abo ut go at the bottom. I have never missed any of the shows. Yes sometimes the recordings start right at the beginning of the show but I have never missed more than 30 seconds of a show.
As for actual clashes, TiVo will smartly try to record the next showing of an episode if it can't record due to a clash.
I usually set a padding of 2 mins at the start and end of a series link and for some one off shows I tend not to add padding at all.

indeed, TiVo is a lot smarter than V+.

Customer services won't know anything as it hasn't officially launched just yet.
You should of had an email telling you VM will be in touch near the end of March... the last few raffle winners are being contacted before 20th.
As I've posted before, you will get an email telling you how to order online... you will then be able to choose an install date.
VM will not be calling any pre-regs just keep an eye out for an email from the TiVo Team.
