If Tivo hadn't been modified it in any way from the US version, then your 'choice' argument holds up; tivo or V+. But they did. And to say Tivo does everything better than V+ is looking at tivo with blinkered vision IMHO.

The best of Tivo US combined with the best of V+ was the way to go IMHO.

From my perspective, the one feture that V+ trounced Tivo on, is padding; Tivo really needs to adopt the V+ method.

My view is TiVo has been around for years and works brilliantly. V+ works great the way it does. So if you miss V+ features then go back to it. I love TiVo and the way it works. I don't miss the V+ at all, TiVo is a totally different product all together.

What's the point in getting a great service added to VM only for people to say they wish it was more like the old product?

Yep agree totally too. Cant see the need for V+ features to be removed from the Tivo. It dosent make it a worse product to carry the V+ advantages.
As repeated many time already, if their on Tivo use them or dont. If their not on their you dont have an option.....

People wish its was more like the old product because it carried very good features. The Tivo carries MANY advantages and features the V+ dosent, so to say if you miss V+ features then go back to it isnt really an option.

Its great to see a company acknowledging which it obviously now sees as a mistake.
Once they reinstate 'reminders' it wont change anyones Tivo for the worse but will enchance others.......Everyones happy
