You have discovered, just like I DID, That the SA box is a piece of [Mod Edit] by comparison with the Samsung. Having done some background research, I knew this before signing up - so I got Virgin to agree to supply a Samsung box. HOWEVER when the engineers arrived they only had the SA box. Against my better judgement, I decided to give it a go - and now, having fulfilled my obligation, I have told them to come and get it - I bought a Panasonic twin satellite recorder which runs rings around the Virgin box - and for free.

I CAN understand why Virgin need 2 different suppliers - to guarantee supply - but they SHOULD have similar specs. I KNOW the Samsung box is better, and MUCH quicker - as my son had one. Virging have lost my custom for their TV services because of this.
