the tivo does not add new content , it only finds current content repeated which i can manually do myself now
the tivo does series links ... but so does the V+ for what i have used it for
sorry to disappoint you but you have still not shown me or told me of a single feature the tivo has that cant currently be achieved other than the bigger HDD ... i must be getting old but i watch tv when i watch tv not plan a week ahead because a movie is on .. take it one day at a time and if i miss something there is DVD/Bluray rental or even purchasing a boxset which will probably be cheaper in the long run
i dont own a smart phone or ipad and i dont throw a hissy fit if i happen to miss something i wanted to watch or record when out so that feature is irrelevant
i know i sound like a lost cause but no one has yet to show what a tivo can do for me or others like me that a V+ isnt already doing

Have you ever thought of getting a gramophone?
I can give you one feature V+ (or anything else) hasn't got, recommendations. Imagine Last.fm for TV, it has the same content yes but it guides you to that content better. "You like this? Well we guess you will like this (thing you have never heard of) too!", and if that doesn't float your boat then I can tell you now TiVo isn't for you.
Oh and it's all very well making assumptions about VM TiVo but if you haven't used one you can't really tell if it's better than V+ or not.
