People have noted that it seems worse in evening peak time, I've also noticed that it's worse in the early hours of the morning too when you'd think that demand would be low.
When it's really this bad you repeatedly get the "there's been an unexpected problem" error screen when attempting to get into 'My Shows'.
There's been suggestions that this is because it needs to access VM servers to perform some functions that I assumed would be done by the box itself.
Is this true and does it use the dedicated TiVo connection if it is?

No, navigating through menus doesnt have anything to do with congestion, even if you were to pull the white coax out the back of the box so it has no signal it will still be slow

If its going through the hub how will virgin know what traffic is PVR?
