IMHO there is indeed something wrong with VM TiVo full stop! I returned it and am much happier. My 3View box gives me more acceptable SD pictures than the TiVo - because there is a sharpness and definition which is absent on TiVo. I was all set to try out Freeview and return the box if I found the picture worse. I am not saying that any platform provides high quality SD, far from it, but IMO TiVo was the pits.
I have seen a wide range of picture quality across Freeview boxes - some are really poor with evident pixellation and movement blur, some are just rather soft (like the Humax). My friend has a Hitachi LCD panel with built-in Freeview and her picture just looks so bad. I did my homework before purchasing my box and reckon I have made an excellent choice. 3View are innovating and are trialling IP HD channels starting at channel 900 and these are really good quality.
