Figured something out, might have come up before.

When using the full EPG in reverse to view shows there is no green button "play catchup now" option, however when using the mini EPG (OK in full-screen TV mode) in reverse, the green button can work BUT it has to be a show that aired more than roughly 2 hours ago, to allow for it to appear on iPlayer otherwise you just get bumped to the main Catch Up/On Demand menu because that stream doesn't exist yet therefore the link is broken.

Bear in mind, the mini EPG will allow three-digit entry to jump to a specific channel just like the full EPG but using <</>> won't make it jump back/foward one day unlike the full EPG.

Having done more homework on the roots of VM's TiVo (the US TiVo Premiere HD) I must say, it looks like at least some of the criticisms the box is getting are the result of the maker, not VM. It seems like VM's TiVo is slightly slicker than the original release Premiere HD, which is more than twice as sluggish by comparison.
