I don't have a V+ box, I have a Tivo and VHD. The VHD is a current standard box that VM sell, and they are still supposed to support it. When is that going to have an update ? It is supposed to be capable of running Tivo software, although not sure I'd want that. It's far quicker than Tivo and the SD picture quality is better.
In theory I should be able to watch HD catch up on Tivo, but as we know that has major problems with network buffering particularly at peak times with HD. This is where the VHD also beats Tivo as it's not reliant on the network - HD catchup always played perfectly - maybe this is why they've removed HD catch up on the VHD (for showing Tivo up)? Their claim it's to make room for more SD content sounds cobblers, I've not seen extra content, less if anything with many mainstream BBC SD programmes also absent according to reports on the support forum.
