Just to put my ten penneth in on this particular subject. I've just had a TiVo box installed this morning and have had my older V+ box moved elsewhere in the house. As far as I'm concerned there's a dramatic difference in picture quality between both boxes (the V+ box is streets ahead) to the extent that I'm considering calling up Virgin and asking them to replace the TiVo box with another V+ box. On non HD channels the picture is washed out and grainy and on HD channels it's 'bitty' (for the want of a better phrase) and any lettering/text is nowhere near as crisp and sharp as it should be.

I might be able to live with it assuming there'll be an update that might fix this issue but it's disappointing none the less.
