Ah, well, there you go.  That's a bit like asking what's so special about
the iPhone.  Until you've lived with one you may not "get it".

I rate the VMC UI 1,000x above Sky+!

Simple things like the missing bar along the bottom of the screen showing
progress through the recording.

The fact you can't see the EPG when using live pause (or is it recording 2
channels at once?).

The stupid 2 button combination (that takes 2 hands) you need to get into
your recordings even.

The UI is a shocker.  It's clunky, illogical and ugly.

Need more?
