Thanks for the detail, that helps a lot. Have you owned V+HD? I can appreciate comparing TiVo to sky+ would seem like a massive leap but V+ is so far in advance of Sky+ anyway.
For instance, the actor thing sounds clever but not really useful. The telling me stuff I might like is interesting, although personally with the narrow interest I have, I know what I want to watch thru other means, and I never miss stuff others have watched.
It really doesn't sound that much more than V+, and that's still the comparison I'm after (hence the thread title).
The UI looks so much nicer than V+, and I really want to get one, but I need justification with features, so come on VM, help me out!
