I just want something to record Corrie while I watch the football so I don't have to faff about with ITV Player etc.

So given that I'd nobble it down to being a high capacity V+ box, why would I want to donate £5 a month to TiVo Inc. to use it?

As for the criticisms of the V+ EPG. I suppose they are dated, but for me they work fine and do everything I want, except I'd like to order channels into my own custom order (eg replacing 101 with 108 etc) but you can't do that on TiVo either.

As I said it's about opinion. In mine the V+ is a better box than TiVo for my needs given the costs of running them. I love the latest tech and have a house full of it, but I don't blindly buy things if I'm not going to use them.
The £5.00 fee goes to the programmers at Tivo inc. that fee is low considering the americans pay for the boxes $299 - (lucky ours is a fee of £50 - £100) and then pay a higher fee than we do $14.99 or a once lifetime fee $499

you can custom order your channels using the favorites which tivo has. why would you "Faff" with ITV Player when you can Record Corrie and record football and then watch something else! theres a or 500GB or 1TB Of storage and you dont need delete it when you've watched tivo will delete when it needs it.
