At least it'll be easy to sell on here !

I'm very pleased with mine. The F1 race is on at the moment but I 
don't care. I'll catch up with it shortly and skip the adverts. 
Watched deferred WSB today too as I was busy doing my filing at 
the time it started.

I did find a top tip on deleting items as it has a tendency to record 
(almost said 'tape' there!) some dubious BBC Choice items for me. 
Select it in the Now Playing and hit Clear down at the bottom of 
the control. The UI helpfully informed me of that.

The other *wonderful* thing it does is when I'm FF-ing through 
adverts, my reaction time isn't fast enough to restart the VCR (sic) 
in time so I usually miss a few seconds. TiVo helpfull resumes 
playback a few seconds earlier than when I hit the button. 
Excellent.
