Do what's best for you Ken. The engineer will probably have both types of boxes if you ask. I have a Tivo and a V6. The V6 is certainly quicker and has more storage, i use mine via Wifi and its ok 99% of the time, very occasionally i have to 'reconnect'/'reboot'. One thing about the V6, it doesn't have a SCART output if you use that for anything.

However if you want the old Tivo, ask for it. Personally i'd go for the V6 in your situation, if the Wifi works fine in your house.


The VM agent said will send a replacement box that I will have to install, no engineer.
