HD looks particularly fantastic too.
The only pq issue I have is that the TiVo menus don't work properly at all when watching 3D VOD stuff.

It is certainly NOT a case of just how TVs are set up when compared to the V+. Several people (including myself) with a poorer PQ have adjusted settings, turned off processing effects, etc and fundamentally the video feed shown on the TV is not as good particularly for SD.
The reason why this is a mystery as to why some TVs seem to handle the Tivo feed better than others.
This is a long way from V+ which seemed to produce an excellent picture for everyone. I've never seen anybody posting about poor V+ PQ and returning boxes, but that has changed with Tivo.
I wish there was an easy answer as I actually do like the Tivo box, it is just a shame there seems to be no way I can improve the PQ and I have certainly tried with TV picture options.
The only specific issue with my original set up was the need to install an equaliser as my power levels into Tivo were too high, but don't see how that could have an impact on Tivo video output to my TV.
