I find Tivo much better than those old Crappy V+ Plus boxes give me tivo boxes any day!
In regards v+ yes one day they will be gone too theres possibilies of another Set top box with the merger of liberty global.
With tivo the menus are a bit clunky but managable -- nothing will be perfect, even after 10+ years in the business.
Set up your series links and the system records all your programs with ease and you dont need to set it up every time a series starts either, some times you can adjust it to make it record earlier and record later. theres a limitations until dynamic EPG and MPEG 4 is in place but theres always pros and cons with these too.
Plus with virgin creating its online tv anywhere i wouldn't be surprised if it enabled Tivo video streaming straight onto your pc anywhere , anyplace in the world just from one step from the browser.  |
I agree with the majority of your points here , I have experience of using V+ , Sky+HD , TIVO and the BT Vision box and my conclusions on TIVO are as follows ,
Plus Points
Clash management , Wishlists , three recordable tuners , excellent search feature , remote app.
Minus Points
Menu speed , OD screens a little convoluted , app selection poor.
Basically if I was still a VM customer there's only one box I'd choose and it certainly wouldn't be V+ the EPG is now looking really dated in my opinion and the TIVO offers far more including increased recording capacity.
