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.
I rarely get a re-boot issue on my two V6s, which rely on wifi. I used to get it frequently on my old TiVo, though.

As Mr K says, it is your choice, but the V6 is a much more reliable machine. I would certainly recommend it.
