Just the expiring series links on Freview PVRs would be enough to make me rethink that one.
Also, re the greyed out channels, could you add things as Favourite channels and display that on the guide?

The expiring series links would be less of an issue because the plan would be to rely more on catch up services (most things have longer expiry dates on the native apps than they do on Virgin's 7 day service), bluray box sets, and maybe some streaming services, although I agree, this is one of TiVo's best features and I'd miss it. To be honest though, I'd like to try and do without the recording facility because I think with other services that's now achievable, but going for a +box is both a catch all and a compromise.
One of TiVo's worst features is the fact that if you default the epg to display just your favourite channels it does so for precisely one hour before reverting. There are enough button presses with TiVo as it is without adding to them everytime you just want to view the guide.
