A point I also made which Zarf2007 did not comment on when I made it in the same post he has already replied to. I wonder why not?
One has to wonder if he just likes to put the boot in instead.

All of which is, of course, a load of nonsense when you actually look at my posting history as a whole and not in isolation. You will see that I am quite happy to agree with other peoples complaints when I ... erm... agree with them.
In this case I simply do not agree that it was "over-hyped" any more than advertising is hype in the first place.

Then why do you still have one? Assuming you're now out of contract you could simply give it back and get a standard VHD box instead. They might let you go back to the V+ but I don't know for sure.
I certainly do not agree that it is "substandard" at all. Of course it's not perfect and no-one (least of all me) has said it is.
Which, by definition, means I simply cannot be a "fanboy"

that we have to give back.....also don't you think sky with all of its profit (remember that word VM)...

Why the pointed dig at VM over that word? IIRC this year is actually the first one in which they have
made a profit.

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.

The
real question is why has Sky not done a deal with Tivo before VM. They had ten years to do so.
