How about the 500GB one for £49 "activation fee" then £3 a month extra. I went for the 500GB one and TiVo is a vast step up from the V+.

It just depends on how much content you plan on recording as the 500GB stores around 50 hours of HD content & 250 hours of SD which is 2.5 times larger than your V+. Obviously the 1TB box is double that if you need more.

The quality of menus, options, apps , etc is far superior than V+. I was also sceptical about the Suggestions but after having it for about 6 weeks now, it's turned up a couple of little gems of programmes I had never seen before so even that works well providing you use the thumbs up/down to rate your favorites.

All in all I would definitely recommend TiVo if it's right for you in terms of what it does and the cost.
