Whatever happened to the idea a PVR was merely for timeshifting? I couldn't envisage ever needing 500gb of space let alone 1TB, in fact I don't ever recall my V+ ever being anywhere near full, we just watched and deleted virtually everything. Even more so with VM as catch up negates the need to record loads of stuff.

I just think providing 1TB capacity increases to the expense of Tivo, that coupled to the ongoing sub may well make joe bloggs run a mile.

Bring that lower capacity box out asap, can the monthly charge and they have the making of a great offer. Otherwise I see it going the same way as the other incarnations of Tivo. Merely a niche, techie gadget with a very limited customer base.

Until it becomes the de facto platform anyway.
