I assume if you set up seperate profiles you can choose to only see the recordings you have set or recorded. Lumping them all in together would cause problems. This is one thing I disliked about SkyQ. Also only having a single 1TB storage space is going to be a bit stingy. Up it to 2TB & they may be on a winner.

The remote boxes do not buffer channels & will only pause live TV for a few minutes. The reliance on the connection to the hub is a sticking point already for some. For others the requirement to still have all boxes connected to coax will put some off.
I like it - the existing UI is very dated. The vertical red line on the EPG and the highligted programme within it to show which programme is actually playing is a nice touch.

The comment you make about the storage space being stingy - I agree, but it is no worse than it is now, and in addition, you can bookmark your shows, which does not require extra disk space. I have 2TB of storage because I have two boxes, and I would imagine you can still have these with the 360 instead of, or as well as, the mini-boxes.
