It all boils down to personal experience Snazzy. Many people come on here because they have a fault/problem and require assistance so generally post comments with negative slants.

My Super Hub did develop a fault at the end of last year but VM sent me out a free replacement and it has been fine since. I've never had any real issues with TiVo apart from it needing a reboot once in a blue moon as it occasionally gets stuck.

The major problem with the Super Hub seems to be the wireless range and it all seems to depend on the size/build of your house. I have no issues whatsoever but I know many people do and the upcoming R36 firmware update is supposedly due to improve the wireless range. You can also put it in modem mode and use your own router if you prefer.

I'm sure many other members will offer their varied views on this but at the end of the day, it's your call mate.

The bad reviews about the super hub wifi drop out is one of the main reasons I have not upgraded my BB, it is working fine with my cable modem and wireless base station at present!

As I have stated MANY times its a good PVR.
Just, I feel that persons here over egg it. Really are the apps that good
Search by actor - really . EPG would be great - not a hope , I guess

If you are used to a V+ ( and were happy with it ) then it lacks in some departments. The BBC red button is an on going one.

I have one and still use it, However I would have been happy at the time with the price reduction offered was made with out the TiVo attached.
Sorry if it offends you but I feel that anyone changing, should do it with there eyes open. "Emperors New clothes "

What's wrong with search by actor and the epg?

Sorry perhaps you misunderstood me.
1) I have no use for it what so ever - If I really want that type of information I will use Google
2) Wish it was here

1. Understood, 2. Do you mean you wish the epg was dynamic?

Re. Point 1, I personally don't think it's supposed to replace google or imdb, rather act as a gateway to other features such as wishlists etc. Re. Point 2, I genuinely wasn't bothered by this but following euro 2012 and some late finishes at Wimbledon last week I'd really like a dynamic epg as soon as possible. Fortunately this has only really impacted on channels which Virgin operates a catch up service for, but it is a little irritating.
