+1's aren't HD so basically I never use them , the majority of Sky's catch up is in HD and available for 30 days.

It will be 30 days for us soon, too. However, I still think it's easy to lose track of where you are when you are relying on that for a series.

If only it could keep track of where you are - like Netflix does. It just picks up where you left off when you select your programme.

I agree that it is annoying that the +1 channels are all in standard definition.

When I moved to Big Kahuna, my price went down by around £8 per month, and my BB went up from 60Mb to 152Mb.... :)

Which begs the question Hugh,how long had you been paying £8 more for less?

Catch up is useful, but it's easy to miss stuff on there, which is deleted after a week.

It really depends how you watch TV. I appreciate that +1s aren't your bag, but I wouldn't be without them.
Fortunately TIVO is very good at finding the HD repeats when there are clashes so that isn't really an issue anymore. I can't say I've really used them since my V+ went. I really hate watching SD nowadays!

I agree, rarely use +1 channels :)

We do as sometimes there are too many things on at the same time thus clashes occur.

It is a pity Tivo does not automatically make use of +1 channels when there is a clash

The latest US update to TiVo allows you to set up a series link to do exactly that and schedule over all channels. Personally, I think that will potentially cause more problems than answers.

This new function is not part of the 'plum' upgrade to Virgin Media TiVo.

The problem is that their is not much to talk about coming soon so keyboards just wander off topics!

The only 2 HD variant channels left I really would like to come to VM is Universal and Boxnation especially the latter as the PQ is not great in SD with this shown up when edited highlights of live fights shown in glorious HD on BT Sports Boxing Tonight programme:(

No the problem is that when discussions naturally wander in to related territory they are deemed "off topic"! Imagine starting a conversation about which players might be coming to your football team and then shutting your mate up when he/she starts complaining about the quality of the pitch they'll have to play on because that conversation is already taking place in the bar and you're in the lounge!

The topic isn't "what channels would you like" either but no doubt your off topic post will be considered on topic even though it's much less relevant to the discussion being had.

And I'm sorry for picking on you - clearly the issue is elsewhere, but your post allowed me to highlight it.

Off topic posting usually refer to those who bait and flame rather than discuss.I suggest that avoiding such behaviour might lead to less moderating.So the topic is actually what channels are coming to VM..not the Tivo.
