Hopefully V6 is just as reliable.

I never hardly had any boxes fail originally.
I was always an early adopter and got brand new boxes which lasted years.
like ive got 3x TiVo boxes at the moment, 2 are the exact same boxes I have had since 2012.
But end of last year the one in lounge failed, it was replaced via self install. it was a refurb box.
It lasted 6 months then hard drive failed in it, VM refused to send me another self install because they implied it was suspicious it hadn't lasted long.
They came out, found nothing suspicious and replaced it... and ever since this new box also has an iffy hard drive, it keeps clicking away. so just expecting 1 day to wake up and find it dead then go through the arguments again about whether its a dud refurb box or if its something they think ive done.
But the V+ boxes, I had the silver original one from day 1 and still have it boxed up as it was replaced. and the 2nd black one I took failed once and was replaced by TiVo early on after TiVo launch as an upsell.
Just have never had issues with new boxes really, but this TiVo box im now on number 3 and its iffy... only thing is the last 2 have been refurbs rather than new.
