i think that star gold, star one, zee cafe and zing are considered good by the south asian community
and yes +1 channels are not crap, but they are no that good either, just useful with TIVO

For example I would rather see Premier Sports and Premier Sports Xtra over 4 +1 channels any day.

why can't we have both premier sports and preimer sports extra and +1 channels, if you don't want to watch or record +1 channels, then thats up to you, but as far i (some other people) are conserned, i find them useful
i would however like to premier sports and preimer sports extra as soon as possible

Re: 3Tb 6 Tuner TiVo
Technically something similar should be available very soon.... Multi room streaming 
Having two boxes gives you a theoretical 2Tb Storage and 6 tuners to play with.
You need never to leave the house again

That will never happen. Virgin Media are more interested in HD channels and sports channels than +1 channels. Virgin Media have a path to grow to 80 HD channels in 2 years
