Also no shows from 4 music or 4 seven or CBS or channel 4 Or E4 or MTV Channels and limited UK TV, the rest need to be TV anywhere but only wifi

There is very little material I can send to my box wow


No surprise that Sky are withholding them. Maybe MM can fill us in on a comparison with Sky Q (availability of non Sky channels)? Not a feature I'd use, but other people could want it

The other problem is we can stream some channels but TV anywhere is reliant still on wifi unlike sky

I suspect it can, but don't know for sure. I think with Tivo, it records from the scart socket, what is playing on Tivo. There may be some copy protection that knows that you are streaming from another box; I really don't know.


Spiderplant would be the authority on this.

Thanks for reply if there is copy protection I won't bother with the V6.

Yes but you will need a power line adapter one end in Super hub and one end in TiVo. That's the way to do it

Well the copy protection issue to the tablet is a real problem and that will limit customers way to watch there content on the move

As far as I know TiVo to TiVo you should be able to still archive. But you can't achieve direct on a v6 like sky q due to no scart

There is no SCART copy protection on recordings.

No you don't. A direct Ethernet cable from hub to Tivo would be fine.

Is this what you mean by power line adapter, IDevolo 500 Wi-Fi Single Powerline Socket i have sky q silver can't archive on that either, that's why I cane back to virgin to get the Tivo.
