And the fact at the moment i can copy recordings to DVD which of course with TiVo its not possible to do.
TiVo is a work in progress but not one though i would invest £140-£190 in,as a single person who records about 10 hours of tv a week even with the bigger hard drive it would not make financial sense.
But with bigger families living in the same household the larger hard drive might be required therefore TiVo would make much more sense.

Red button will come. I would hope sooner rather than later but I know it is of no use to you until it does Richard.
Reminders might come but I doubt it will be top of their list as there are other things to concentrate on first.
I think the price will come down but that makes a 12 mth contract more likely, not less, as they have to be sure they will get a return from their investment.
It would be easy for them to enable ethernet back up to computer but I doubt it will happen as UK broadcasters are pretty strict about that. I'm surprised they allowed us dvd backup on the V+ as I don't think any other subscription box can do that. I wonder for instance if Sky would allow programmes on their channels to be backed up? I doubt they would allow computer back up anyway.
