I'd just about be happy to accept this if it meant that the iPlayer and Netflix loaded quickly but they don't. As it stands, if I understand what you are saying, my box has become sluggish to allow a load of apps I never use, and because they have been developed by the summer placement in some shoddy software house, to dump their rubbish in physical memory leaving no room for my "Planned Recordings" request to be processed. Frankly, if this is the case, it is embarrassing for TiVo and VM. You've allowed some cowboys to trash your product.
