I am using a 55'' Samsung LED TV - so dont expect anything to special with SD material - but, the difference from the Samusng V+ to the Tivo is very noticeable.
I am personally gutted, how can this not be picked up before launch ?- surely releasing a premium box/service should enhance the customer experience ?

Very Disapointed. Its like a TV box version of my Superhub experience - great upgrade offer, take it on, disapointing result as the products not meeting expectations.
I really think VM have got there stuff together now with a overall product/service proposition to better the offering from Sky - but bad product launchs like this let them down badly.

Speaking as someone who as experienced similar problems I sympathise, I can tell you what helped me

My installer left my picture setting as force "full screen" by default, so SD programs designed for 4.3 had to be stretched to fill the screen

This made them look awful, I changed the setting to "Panel", it did improve the PQ , it also took me time to adjust to PQ, and I must say over the past 7 weeks I have seen an improvement

It may be just that I'm getting used to it, but I do believe it as improved,
Hope that helps
