Ah ok - so the BBC iPlayer uses the "app" but everything else (ITV, Sky, C4 & C5?) uses the same as existing V/V+? Didn't realise that, interesting.
I get that the TiVo EPG is a +/- 7 day jobbie, but presumably for shows that are series/older than 7days etc, there's still a menu-type listing? Sorry if this is really basic stuff...

Good stuff - so the percentage of shows that are available online in HD, will be the same with TiVo, that's one up on V+ already then.
We've only got one TV in the house, so having multiroom isn't an option - I was tempted to ask about parallel running for a short while, but decided to just "go for it". Just means clearing through 40-odd hours of recorded stuff to DVD etc. A PITA but then so is VM chopping BBC-HD on V+ with no warning. Seriously unimpressed with that.
Thanks for the other replies so far - really helpful. I'm now really intrigued about the bitrates and resolutions on various media now :-)
