Maybe VM need to offer a pure PVR only, with a decent size hard drive, and less the £3 charge for the Tivo functionality. Maybe it's already in the works?

This reduced sized Tivo coming in June for a rumoured £49 still has a question mark over it as 'reduced spec'; this could mean reduced hard drive only, or reduced hard drive size and reduced Tivo functionality. No one seems to want to expand on that.
Amen to that. If they are going to charge so much for TiVo, then why can't they swap the hard drives in V+ boxes to add a bit more recording space.

I'd happily pay £50 to be able to record 40/50 hours, instead of the 20 if you lucky currently.

Doesn't even need a new box, just a refurb and drive swap. I'd do it meself if it didn't risk me getting in hot water!
