It's only a bit of kit, for heaven's sake - it's hard to believe the amount of emotion and vitriol that is being raised about it.
Back to the point of your reply - I was trying to be light-hearted, but obviously epic failed, by trying to point out that VM isn't making anyone buy/try/trial this, and if some don't want to buy/try/trial this because of what they have read on this and other forums, it means another one is available for those who do, and perhaps don't have such high/critical standards.
btw, there's a huuuuuuuuge difference between accepting that a new piece of kit will have some issues and having blinkers (imho - ymmv).

Thanks for that Hugh.
I think the problem some people are having is that the functionality the V+ offers is more than enough for them, but with only 20 hours HD recording, because of all the HD channels VM have added, 20 hours is not enough. The only option is tivo, which adds an extra 3 pounds PM for things they don't want/need and they see a couple of things that V+ appears to do better (SD PQ seems to be a personal opinion).
Personally, I really want the added functionality of tivo and although I would prefer it to be free, I understand the need or a 3 pound charge. I just hope the way tivo handles SD and padding dosen't dissapoint (3 recordable tuners will help with padding and is a massive plus over V+)
I look at the overall functionality, and for my requirments, Tivo wins hands down, but the V+ has some great features that shouldnt be ignored. Which is why I, and others, post about them in comparison to tivo.
