My old Tivo box is on the way out. Breakup on all recordings so I presume the HDD is failing. Question is - will they replace it with a 360 or try and palm me off with a stream box? I'd like to know my position before ringing them. Looking at the relative specs I have absolutely no interest in the stream box - I wouldn't use any of the streaming features and would miss out on everything the traditional box does - mainly recording programmes to watch later.

I gather from a few web searches VM are trying to move people over to the stream box. That would be the end of VM TV for me - a deal-breaker. Would it be grounds to cancel my contract?

Any feedback welcome!
