Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

I have a TiVo and a V HD box and I find the latter to be far more reliable regarding loading times and booting speed. My TiVo has suddenly got really sluggish.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

My Tivo doesn't do anything suddenly...:eek:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2

No l have not heard a thing Richard.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016) Vol 2
 

Good god Richard, do you really think that most people would be interested in VM adding more brain numbing dross to the already bulging list of rubbish!

Looked them up. They are both babe channels.

Typical! Is this the sort of thing we can expect now?
