They say its to increase the amount of SD content but sounds to me like they are trying push everyone onto TiVo. Problem is iplayer on Tivo is flawed and will get worse if everyone does switch.

What annoys me is the underhand way they've done it, gradually, hoping no one will notice. No announcement to customers about this downgrade of service and no consultation with them , plus of course the initial lies about why its happening.
I sympathise, but I think you have to accept that the V+ is 1990s technology and will now be phased out. See if you can get a better deal with VM, I'm sure it will be worth it.
