Three things I don't miss about the SA V+

(1) The midnight/1am slowdown (avoid using FWD/REW, try to watch programmes with no advert breaks !)
(2) Having to nurse it through HD recordings - only being able to record one HD channel at a time, not being able to watch another HD channel whilst it was recording an HD channel or face the wrath of the random reboot
(3) Unreliable CatchUp - sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't, usually within a few seconds of selecting the same programme

Other than that, and some slowness, generally the SA V+ was a good machine - yes the SD picture was marginally better than Tivo, but not a deal breaker in my opinion.
