I think most OD over Virgin complaints are more down to using the old TiVo boxes rather than the V6.

Yes we have no experience with V6 but had problems with OD using the old TiVo boxes and the even older V+ or whatever it was called (on that it was near unusable at peak times).

I’d have fully expected you to have issues, it’s the best way for you to continue to promote Sky in a discussion about cable services.

My problems when I had them were discussed many moons back with Spiderplant so sorry you've got the wrong end of the stick. The problem was to many trying to access the service in the evenings we also struggles with some peak time contention with the broadband.

I'm starting to see why you got a ban over on DS , I guess some people like to believe they are always right and struggle to converse with people and accept differing opinions.

It used to be a nightmare, but the V6 appears to have cured these problems. I watch far more on demand these days with the better reliability and the increased number of tuners.

On the contrary - I supposedly reregistered in 2010 with a near identical name. Having upset a clique over there who didn’t like being proven wrong that was a breach of T&Cs according to admin who hadn’t noticed for 8 years. Anyway we’ve been told by moderators here that subject has to be left alone.

I just find your contribution to this thread curious, as you obviously aren’t that interested in what may or may not be coming soon to Virgin Media.

I don't doubt it , I have family members with V6 who love it. The bulk of my issues came from the Samsung V+ and On Demand in the evening.

All services suffer problems and downtime but on the V+ the service was more miss during the evening sadly.

To be fair, there are a lot of people who are flexible and switch providers from time to time. By keeping an eye on the forums of other providers, you become more aware of issues and developments.

Whether or not muppetman fits into this category, I tbink he makes a useful contribution to cable forum (even though he gets rather irritated with me sometimes!).

I know, it was certainly unreliable in those days, and on the Tivo, BBC i-Player was virtually unwatchable.

Happy to say that the V6 is a tremendous improvement and we've had absolutely no issues since we got two of them about 18 months or so ago.

Hmmm, I wonder if we'll get Premier Sports 2 in HD too.

It seems that some satellite viewers are not at all happy that it won't be on Sky for the time being. Not sure what the delay is there unless Sky see this as too much competition with their own sports channels.
