Perhaps unfair in terms of the data storage but not in terms of intelligence.

When I moved from Tivo S1 to V+ (for HD) I really could not believe the huge retrograde step in terms of user interface and functionality.

V+ records what you ask (if you are lucky!) nothing more - just like a VCR. it doesnt evn realise when a new series of something you have previously recorded has started.

Tivo is proactive - you tell it what you definately want to record and what programmes you like and it gets to work pulling in content for you proactively.

In these respects, at least, V+ is much closer to a VCR than to Tivo.
