I agree fully with you about accepting TIVO is different , there are many things it does far better than the V+ and Sky+ for instance buffering on each tuner , never ending series links , remote record (something not possible on V+) , wishlists , multiroom streaming soon.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I went into the VirginMedia shop and had a quick play with a Tivo while the guy was sorting out the phone I was buying. I was well impressed. I might have to take the plunge. I'm guessing another 12m contract though?

Agree completedly, the only backward step with TiVo is VM is now charging £3 per box instead of per account

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I have to use optical myself as my old amp does not have HDMI but works perfectly well and supports Dolby and DTS.

The only thing i think it needs is the option to create a wishlist for a specific series. Other than that it is a great feature.
