For me, apart from the larger hard drive, there is no longer as much of a desire to have a Tivo at present. There are too many reasons, such as no third tuner (Coming soon), problems with padding, un-initiated reboots, no red button and most importantly, poor sd picture quality. These are all features that we already have on the V+. I am very happy with both of my V+ boxes. They give me no trouble whatsoever. Why would I want to fork out more dosh to be an early adopter of an as yet unproven technology?
If you are concerned then it may be best to hold back. You can always have a test drive of TiVo in your local Virgin Media Store?
