I have experienced the same especially following some firmware upgrades. I have, however, found these issues and others to be solved after performing a "Planner Rebuild". It's non-destructive and only takes a few minutes and so is worth a punt if your Sky+ PVR is misbehaving.

Hmmm.. You are correct, however I have not noticed the issue since I started to, almost exclusively, use the Sky+ App on my iPad to program my Sky+ Box. Maybe the Sky+ App get around the problem by downloading program info from the Web rather than from the STB.

Thanks to the many time shifted channels carried by Sky and the splendid clash manager in the Sky+ App I have not found the limitation of only 2 tuners to be a problem.

When, for whatever reason, your VM reception is decidedly flaky, an ultra reliable Sky reception is great believe me.

I can't comment on that having never had experience of the VM Tivo. I will just say the in conjuction with the Sky+ App and Sky's Never Miss website the Sky+HD box does everything I need it too and in a highly responsive manner too.
