I am paying £55.65 for V+ - TV XL and 20mb Broadband - Virgin pricing does not make any sense at all but they wont give me a better price unless I ditch the V+ box.

Even between the SA and Samsung V+ HD boxes it works differently due to hardware differences.
What is the 'play back in the background feature' on the V+? Does It mean that you can play back recordings and view them in the mini screen whilst, say, browse the EPG?
