Therefore it's all subjective.

It is not subjective when you have had a V+ before on the same TV and then have it replaced by a Tivo and no matter what you try the PQ is worse. I think you will find that those posters with poorer PQ are those replacing boxes so can directly compare against what they previously had from VM. The difference is clear in terms of the softening effect.
Based on anecdotal evidence at best. Hardly a reliable figure

My view yes but that comment applies to any figure including those who think this is not a problem or only affects a tiny proportion of users, just watch the daily posts of people complaining or commenting about the poorer PQ.
More made-up stats.

Yes like anybody else with a different view point

Fair enough.
And means VM do see enough cases of poorer PQ to be worthy of investigation, this issue just cannot be ignored and could actually be used by competitors against Tivo, how about Believe in Better "picture quality" - come and join Sky!

I actually like Tivo and with issues like these resolved it will be a great box, but lets not hide issues under the carpet; there is certainly a PQ issue for some as is seen with the daily posts on this issue.

Any finally, how do you reply only to parts of a post as I cannot work that out!!!
