For such a 'groundbreaking' piece of kit, why should it take time for the box to settle?

All the VOD is network dependant and it does sometimes depend on what time of day you are watching it and how many people are using your local network and it's capacity at the time. In an evening say between 7pm - 10pm you're more likely to get error messages saying it's unavailable but try the same content in a morning between 7am - 10am and it'll more likely work straight away.
In an ideal world it would work straight away all the time but the network simply can't handle the amount of traffic sometimes, especially in peak periods where many customers are watchin tv, VOD, online, etc.
However, if you're VOD never works on TiVo it's likely to be a fault with the signal levels which will require a tech visit to sort out.
I'd definitely recommend you persevere with TiVo, I swapped my old Samsung V+ for TiVo about 10 months ago and found some features frustrating at first but over time as you get used to TiVo and TiVo gets used to you, it is definitely superior in all ways to V+ (bar the odd missing feature although they are "coming soon").
