new virgin box

anyone getting one? 500gb, or 1tb?

looks like a good upgrade over the v+ box.

500gb = 250 hours
1tb = 500 hours

the v+ box saves 80 hours

I have the old V+ box. TBH I have never found anywhere near 80 hrs of decent programming worth recording!

Is this the box with TiVo built in and internet connectivity? I was told about it by a Virgin engineer who replaced my V+ box but not seen the specs on one yet.
As someone else said I rarely have more than 15 hours recorded at best, never anywhere near the limit
