I am a Tivo S1 owner even though it has been turned off for nearly 3 years since I moved to a house with cable installed and got a V+.
Still couldn't bring myself to sell it or bin etc just in case I ditched Virgin at any point.

The apps like Youtube/ebay or whatever I am not fussed about at all.
The Wishlists are amazing.
I think I watched 1 suggestion in the 6 years I used it. That is probably more down to me actually recording lots anyway and never actually emptied the box. I can't see why you would watch a suggestion when you have other stuff you know you do want to watch already there.
The season passes at the time were great but everything has them now. Just a shame that it seems they do not work properly right now.

So I am going to now buy Tivo based on the new info because I loved Tivo and it's little plopping and also I am almost on a weekly basis struggling with space issues. The 500Gb would probably be enough but 1Tb with hopefully the promise of more HD channels to arrive should have it covered.

Going to move my V+ box to the bedroom to replace the original non HD box. What would be nice of course would be if the VIP's second box could be the baby Tivo. If Virgin wants everyone to be using Tivo I see that being a logical step to make.
