Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

So I had to buy a separate box to do the job.:rolleyes:

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Can you explain

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

This forum went mental overnight, what has happened??

Reading all the comments about SCARTS, VHS, archiving, it's like being taken back to the dark ages lol

I've had my say on SCART and old tech...I'm looking forward to 4K UHD programming and you guys still using SCART to get TV around the house lol...couldn't make it up in 2016.

Ditch the old kit, and get with the times :-)
There is no possible argument that will convince me that people still need SCART cables and to archive programmes they will never watch again...jeez, waste of time :-)

One of these Mixes it's output with the Freeview signal for co-ax distribution around the house.

Retransmits my DVD/HDD recorder output too. Mind you that's good Sony kit and outputs 576i SCART for the modulator and 576p component to the TV simultaneously and also feeds through the SCART from the VHD box on standby.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

This post makes me sad! lol

You pay VM for XL TV package which has all of the HD channels and you also have a VHD which also is capable of HD, yet you using kit that produces 576p and 576i...Please tell me you have a HD tv :D

Naturally I have an HD TV (Sony Bravia 42" smart) in the front room on HDMI from the VHD box but I see no need to invest in a blu-ray player when I can download perfectly good 1080p films so I only need to play some DVDs. I also have a number of small TVs round the house.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

It doesn't appear so, according to Sky...

Lol. so true! :D

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I have a setup that enables me, if I so wish, to record a full HD HDMI copy protected signal(HDCP) to my PC. No big deal. Off the shelf Game capture device and another device that also happens to remove the HDCP. Even works on streaming devices, such as the Roku, Amazon firestick etc. The info is out there.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

4K has a newer HDCP standard the HD did

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Can someone explain the pricing (excluding activation / box charges) fully.

Currently we pay £137.73 which has a £18.25 loyality discount so in fact its 155.58

which is basically Big Kahuna Sports and Movies Bundle HD, 3 500g tivo boxes and 200mb broadband and talk unlimited and multi talk 1000.

If I understand correctly we can have the new stuff on VIP package.

So I could in theory have:

2 V6 Boxes
1 tivo box I have

for £120 + extra box charge without loyality discounts? Or have I messed up the pricing?

Also with the V6 boxes can you connect them with your own router so the hub 3 is in modem mode (either wired or wireless) ?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Did the engineer complain about not being able to plug it into the Hub?
My v6 will be fine, but my mum and dad's (being fitted the day after) the hub is in a totally different room.
Wireless should be fine and they are possibly going to get Powerline plugs, but wondered if we don't have the Powerlines in place would the engineer refuse to install?
