Carl, can I just ask, are you actually employed by VM to trawl these forums and make them look good? it seems every (valid) negative comment is easily dismissed by your sarcastic remarks.....if you aren't employed by them then you damn well should be as I cannot think of a bigger fanboy.....

Yes, I'd like the other things, and I think VM should be severely critisised for being very slow to get them sorted, but the core functionality that is already present on Tivo, make the missing bits seem relatively insignificant.
Erm lets not forget that these boxes aren't free (or they werent for initial adopters like myself) and we paid for something substandard that we have to give back.....also don't you think sky with all of its profit (remember that word VM) aren't or haven't stripped a tivo box down to build something that will ultimately destroy it? because if i had their money thats what I'd do....and given their content with a new STB they will kill VM.
