I've got a V+ and until this morning was quite happy with it. But it seems VM are so hell-bent on pushing the TiVo that the BBC CatchUp service has been downgraded without any notice (series-stack & HD content removed)

So I'm looking again at a TiVo... really didn't get on with one when I tried it a couple of years ago but maybe it's time to make the plunge. Pricewise, one of the "Big Bundles" works out fractionally cheaper and also includes a higher broadband tier. So ok there.

But functionally, our V+ is well-over half-full and it's the usual PITA of having to either dump the recordings to DVD or watch them before "D-Day". Is there any way to run the two boxes in parallel for a short period? Or otherwise trial a TiVo to see whether we get on with it?

Thanks,
Jon.
