V+ : rewinding v+ at midnight

Yeah that annoyed me too, think midnight is when Virgin do their updates. Haven't noticed it on TiVo though.

Longstanding problem with the V+. Don't attempt to do anything with the box, especially anything with recordings at the midnight hour (or 1:00am in BST). Once the V+ starts it's daily updates for the EPG and related stuff, everything else is on very low priority of responsiveness. Clearly nobody at Virgin every thought people would use the V+ at midnight, and even once they realised that we do, they never thought to find a workaround in the software to correct the processing priorities

Used to find this with our Scientific Atlanta box, but the Samsung is a lot better. I now find that it's very slow setting or cancelling planned recordings just after midnight, but normal rewinding/OnDemand etc is fine.
