Hi all... Long time no see!

So, as many of you know, I love TiVo. However, because of the unique way Virgin Media is funded, I have found myself looking at other options and this year, despite a really good effort from retentions in fairness to them, I'm off. The next year will be spent in front of a combination of BT's youview box and Sky's NowTV. At the moment I have about a week of overlap whilst I clear the TiVo down and the youview series links take over. What I'm noticing which I either never really did or at least was prepared to accept is just how slow the TiVo is in comparison. The point was always made (by me amongst others) that TiVo was actually pretty quick given everything it has to do. The youview is faster, simpler and yet doesn't in any way feel like a step down in terms of functionality. And it has apps...
