Until they allow TiVo to play back recordings in the background I will stick with the V+ box.
box restarted again at 05.40 - not sure why .

May mean that you can record in the background whilst watching normal tv?

I am guessing that Netfix is the draw. Never use it so, I wish that this update had never happened

He probably means that TiVo lacks a 'Copy to VCR/DVD' function that allows it to play back a recording in the background while you watch something else like the V+ has.
This is one of the reasons I prefer my V+ too.

If your V+ rebooted at 01:16, that wasn't done by VM. It had crashed. Give the VM faults team a call if it keeps happening.

Now that one was intentional. All V+ boxes were rebooted last night between 04:30 and 06:00 for some engineering work. It will happen several more times over the next few weeks, but always in this time slot.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 5.
I've tried comparing the range of programs and films that Netflix and Lovefilm offer. Lovefilm seems to have a larger range than Netflix when I look at the websites? The difference is so glaring that I wonder if I can't see all NetFlix's offerings and the full range is only visible to members?
Is this true or perhaps I missing something? Because if I'm not then I can't see any reason why I would choose Netflix over Lovefilm?

There seems to be a hell of a lot on Netflix that isn't immediately visible but can be found through the search function. I don't think it's very well implemented if I'm honest. We even had to search for Breaking Bad last night.
Currently in terms of content Netflix is ahead, and Netflix's original programming has been better received than LoveFilm's so that's where my money is. That said I'm beginning to wonder how far away I am from reducing my Virgin package as low as it can go, or even cancelling, and subscribing to both.

Ah cool, I like Bishops Stortford. Used to work in the town for a year or so some years back. Yeah it was on here when I woke up. 
Feel asleep about 2 a.m. though, so my idea of staying up late did not really happen. Very impressed with the update all round!
