As a person who after many years was a V+ and then finally took the plunge and got TiVo (mainly because it was cheaper the package) I will have an attempt to answer.

Navigation took a little time to get use to but on the whole quite intuitive, picture is clean and the added tuner is useful. Series link and recording suggestion also has been a welcome addition along with ability to record based on keywords.

Apps and BBC I player are generally a miss but that's my own opinion; more of a gimmick then a must have no doubt if I didn't have alternative means to stream I player I would use TIVO and be able to give a full impression. I tried it once in January but it buffered so I abandoned, likewise searching on sky movies is a bit ancient and therefore just use the sky movies app on iTunes but that is horses for courses.

Spacewise 1 GB is plenty and the added benefit if you are sky movies customer sky movies are in Hd for TIVO; I usualy search on app and then watch via TiVo and this works fine.

The only grip I miss is the out and out reminders feature from V+ and the closest we have in TiVo is remind and record which is a little pants. Does the job but then end up deleting which to me is stupid; yes it's a whole new way of watching but I just want it to be simple where I chosen something to watch in hour time and I want it to automatically change channel in an hour. Simple on V+ but not available on TiVo

So in conclusion, good box, in my utopian world I would have V+ simplicity with HD movies and larger disc space but I have TiVo and pretty content with it
