Pretty much. I still own both boxes so it's a little easier to compare.

The series recording on Tivo is pretty smart and picks up new seasons / second half of a season, schedule changes and knows which episodes have/haven't recorded.

Whereas on V+ it'll generally fall over if the time of the program gets changed - or at least that's been my experience with it over the years. It'll consistently fail to pick up a TV show returning after the new year or brand new seasons starting up again.

The other great part of Tivo is how you can search for programs, list episodes and see if its coming up in the schedule or if its on demand. Finding on demand content on the V+ can be a real pain.
