I note from reading this forum that I am not alone on this problem and that there is a possiible firmwear fix imminent.
Has anyone any update on this?
If one is not forthcoming in the near future, I see there is no alternative but request return of Samsung Virgin+ box, under Viirgins 28 day return policy, to keep the peace indoors.
For information I have a Sony KDL32v4000 television (all picture enhancement settings off) and have tried the TIVO video settings on 1080i & 720p output and all other settings to no avail.
If anyone has any suggestions this would be appreciated with many thanks.

Just an update. I did phone Virgin and registered my dis-satisfaction and requested to revert back to my trusty Samsung Virgin+hdbox, but they insisted they send an engineer first.
He arrived this morning and advised me that the reason was probably because I had an LCD tv instead of an LED tv, which he says gives a better hd/sd image and would account for my problem. Also contrary to previous advice on this forum my tv 'sharpness' setting was turned off, but should be switched on.
I'm still not happy, but perhaps TIVO will grow on me, particularly if they remedy the lack of 'reminder facility' and programme recording 'padding' facility.
