I am now enjoying Freeview HD and loving it. SD and HD picture quality both better than TiVo and no monthly charge! If you are finding you are mostly watching channels which are on Freeview think on! I bought a 3View box which can access iPlayer and is having features added all the time. It has 2 tuners built in and does series links very well.

I exercised my right to return the Tivo after 7 days. The SD picture quality was dreadful and the HD was not as good as on the SA box I'd had for 4 and a half years. No amount of fiddling with either the TV settings or the Tivo settings made much difference. I requested a return to V+ and a Samsung was installed. The difference was immediately noticable, particularly on SD but ALSO on HD!
A lot of people appear to have no complaints and some are saying that Tivo picture quality is better than the SA and the Samsung boxes. However, as I discovered, there are more than a few who are having problems with Tivo's picture quality.
Something that surprised me though, was that when I said I wanted to return the Tivo due to poor picture quality no one asked for further information or clarification. No call from customer services, or an offer to send a tech...
