No fiction.

I rang up explained unfortunately they didnt seem to believe me a bit like your comment above indicates.

But I can say the services have worked perfectly so far. I havent tried to say they were unreliable or silly things like that. Can I ask if DF and Masque worked for NTL before it was VM. You dont seem like extelewest guys.

I've just received my new Services Contract after adding TiVo and the minimum service is 12 months.

Just a little more info for people via an email from the Senior Manager of Planning and Strategy (I assume a few of us have received this)...

That is incorrect, on average each agent has around 2 calls recorded per month for Quality sessions which are randomly chosen and usually consecutively recorded.

That is lucky when i worked for o2 we used to have 8 per month, 2 side by side and 6 remotely.

Just out of interest , are the calls being made to people by area ? or by
when they registered going down list in order? or by what package you are
on,?

(being kind there ... its actually a shambles if they call the same people more than once especially if those people have already signed up in the first call).. just my opinion and i bet the usual will defend it as 'normal' and not messed up

I've just been there and can't see many problems? Which ones are you talking about in particular?

If and when they have this box market ready I might reconsider. I certainly will not fork out more money for a box that does less than my current V+ boxes.

I remain convinced that the only real advantage this TiVo has is a larger hard drive. I know that DF will come on here and praise things like uTube, a fancy search and other as yet unseen "apps" but ask yourself, what do we really use the box for? Watching and recording TV and that is what the V+ does brilliantly. The new TiVo will not be able to match it until all the promised add-ons, such as the third tuner, are up and running. How long are you prepared to wait for all these features to be introduced and have all the inevitable bugs cleared?

OFF THE TIVO COMMUNITY

Another thing I've noticed - if you go backwards in the guide and select a "catch-up" program, I understood it would go to that programme directly. But all it seems to do is go to the catch-up menu, where you still have to go through all the steps you did on the V+ box. I sincerely hope that at some point (soon?) you will indeed be able to go to a catch-up programme simply by selecting it in the TV guide - and if not, just what is the point of trumpeting this as a feature?

SEEMS A STUPID IDEA.
