Has anyone got one and is it worth the £75?
Thanks

I have one and it is well worth the £150 I paid....Doh.
Very easy to use, massive memory. record and watch 3 separate channels at once (never had to do this though.
Box is much faster than the standard box.

Excellent bit of kit. Being able to pause and rewind the TV is excellent and being able to record two things at once is great as you never have to worry about overlapping start and end times when things are on different channels.

We got the TV Drive when it was launched and I wouldn't go back to not having a PVR now.

Definately worth the £75 installation charge. Three tuners (record 2, watch 1), on demand, iplayer, series link, HDMI output, great at upscaling SD to view on HD displays. Great piece of kit!:D

I was about to post about how I got the V+ for free…I signed up to the 4Mb broadband and asked to upgrate to 20Mb..I asked what other offers were available...the guy on the phone offered me the XL package for TV, phone (unlimited landline calls 24/7) and XL (20Mb) broadband for £56 per month..I said I would sign up if he threw in a V+ box for free (including free installation and free Netgear router) and he agreed.

Would thoroughly recommend it and agree with all the above…it also has a great library of music, movies (for a charge), catch up TV, whole TV series etc

We got ours just after Xmas and its fab- not had a bit of bother with it.

Was a bit shocked at the size of it but its got some great features and is very similar to Sky+.

Personally I don't think we'd ever go back to a standard box as we've got used to 'being in control'!

It's better than Sky +, three tuners instead of two, A bit of HD stuff and all the catch up TV stuff which is great if you forget to record something.

Definitely worth it! We had Freeview in with a normal PVR but it is not a patch on the V+ box.

All of the extras and the fact you can use the V+ remote to control the volume on your TV is a plus point.

Brilliant piece of kit,, how did we manage without one?
