Most PVR's seem to fail due to the HDD used for recording.. Maybe it's being done to make the boxes last longer??

Think you hit the nail on the head with advertising. Easier to inflict with streamed programmes. Also BB isn't infallible as VM have proved over the last few weeks, so no streaming then. Recorded programmes are more reliable and give more control to the viewer Streamed stuff, to me, the PQ a lot of the time isn't as good.
Upgrade for VMs profits to knock these cheaper boxes out too, not for the customer. A flashy epg and a remote you can talk to are just gimmicks, plus the latter might get you locked up !
