My thoughts are well documented in other posts. How ever here they are again.
Good points -its smaller.
it holds more programmes.
Bad points - no reminders. No red button ( you all know what I mean I am sure)
It can cost more per month ( Ok again not for me)
Sum up I would stick with the V+ if it was the only PVR I had, and NO way would I pay more for it. Over hyped & over here to coin an old phase. Sorry but as yet it has not changed my mind. O yes the picture is FINE !!!
