How advanced the product has little to do with it. Many products start out basic and have extras added later, the ps3 for instance. Another example is Sky's anytime + service where the majority couldn't access it all. i don't know if that's changed. So getting free multi room worth £7.00 or so is a pretty good compensation.

I've read a lot of your posts on TIVO especially in the PQ thread , it seems like your trying to justify it to yourself.

Is that a joke? You have posted over and over why the Tivo isn't worth it after saying you were desperate to get one before you changed tv supplier. Should I accuse you of sour grapes. I am getting a Tivo fitted next week and have been offered a free V+. I think I am pretty qualified to say whether I think that is compensation for lack of red button (for me anyway).

No it's not accuse me of what you want I have posted saying it's not worth it currently. Have I ever stated I would never get one ? Hope the PQ is ok for you

I'm only pulling your leg pal Enjoy your TIVO.

It's no problem to me whatsoever, I'm one of the happiest Virgin customer you'll find. I added the smiley as I was breaking bad news to another member.
