It is a little, at timea
Which, of course, is actually nothing to do with Tivo; and VM can't be blamed for the lack of some of those HD channels.
But its still a fact, and content is king! so if I have a HD/3D TV I want the most content available for it....still if you're content with sticking with 2nd best, good luck...
Such as?
l
earning viewing habits....personally, i know better than tivo what i like to watch...it was niche when the original tivos were released but added to the sixteen menu deep feature list its boring....if I wanted to tinker with 1000's of features I'd build a linux HTPC such as MythTV.
Oh yes. Must have the now-seemingly obligatory personal dig at just because I don't necessarily share your opinions
(Of course, you'll notice I did agree about the UI but don't let facts get in the way of those personal digs, will you?
Well I was just stating a fact, you are a fanboy, in fact there are rumours that you are Bransons lovechild....

Correct.
Also correct. And there's nothing wrong with SD anyway
But it isnt HD!!!! Why would I buy a HD TV to watch SD!!!! I only watch SD when there is no HD equivalent and with Sky many of the SD channels have HD equivalents and not just the 'headline' movie and sports channels.

1. Nobody has said they are "equally as responsive".
2. Of course the Sky+ interface is quicker and simpler because it doesn't have to do as much
That maybe the case but you expect the little things to work, not constant 'doughnut' while searching my recordings or the annoying pause when it starts to record a program that you have decided to watch (and forgot to cancel the planner for). The response time to channel hopping and other features is way too slow, and this should be VM's number one priority in rectifying, but clearly isnt...

Or perhaps it is you who are myth-taken and just happen to have a slower box. As has been said already, you should have had it looked at.
I have looked at others as mentioned in my posts and they were just as bad.....I guess they are all faulty eh fanboy?

Of course, one man's 'gimmick' is another man's 'useful feature'
true, but when you have to wade through 5 menus to enable that gimmick it becomes tiresome.....they really need to take apples approach to things, simplicity and elegance...afterall, we are there to watch content, not look at software revisions....

I have the XL TV pack but don't watch anywhere near
all the channels
then downgrade...
All of them; most of the time at least
