Now i know the old argument but there are all these kewl new features on Tivo that aren't on the V+ but everyone i know is reigning in their spending and aren't going to spend almost £200 on a box.

I think they got this very very wrong and if the early adopters wont pay it then the general punters wont either Luxury TV or not.
It would be interesting to read take up figures probably confidential VM i read at one stage had well in excess of over 50,000 pre registers,so have no real incentive to offer better deals then they have announced, as i would think demand is outstripping any supply for the immediate future.

I would think outside of this forum many people are quite happily or will be having the installation on the terms offered,the only way it will eventually become lower price is when the early surge has been fulfilled and vm are looking for a higher take up,but that will not be yet.
