This is gonna a bit of a long post I am afraid, but here goes (takes deep breath)

devilincarnate, I remember a smaller update happening earlier in the year, but I don't remember when it was or what it updated. I am looking forward to having reminders coming back, but does anyone know if we will be receiving anything else?
I read somewhere that we may not get any new channels until September (disappointing, but its some thing I can live..I only want HD variations and don't really care about Sky Atlantic) does anyone know when sky will be putting their prices up, because I can only think Virgin are gonna pull out all the stops when that happens to entice as many customers over to the light side! We now have BBC and SKY sports red button and with reminders coming to TIVO soon, there will be few gripes for people to moan about and all the functionality of the SKY HD box.
On another note does anyone else think SKY launched there movie rental deal because they got wind of a deal being close to completion (or even completed) between Virgin and lovefilm or netflix? I don't know how these things work, but I know in food retail, tongues always wag and there are few secrets from our competitors and vice versa.
Finally kudos to Virgin for giving us more apps over the past couple of weeks, they may not be the best out there, but at least it shows something is happening!

No

Sky Store is a PPV service , Netflix is a subscription based service.

Yes we had a small update as a bug fix which also broke some 3rd party remote control apps for TIVO

I'm also looking forward to reminders coming back. I only had two gripes with TIVO - BBC Red button and Reminders, they have resolved 50% of my gripes

:hyper:

background recording
 
We need to see background recording returning because that is a great feature rather than one by one. I'm a TiVo fan but I feel that is a advantage of v plus. In America they use TiVo to go to record to your pc but uk nothing. This needs sorted

Sky Now, when it launches, is rumoured to have subscription options, and that is the serrvice from sky that is aimed as competition for netflix/Lovefilm as well as aiming to attract viewers to Sky who don't want a dish and or don't want to be tied into long term contracts. It is actually a very smart move by Sky.

There was a major update just before the general Tivo release, in around March/April 2011, which among other things, activated the 3rd tuner.

And for Carl and those who don't remember that Tivo originally launched with only 2 out of the 3 tuners activated, see

In my defence, I didn't get mine before this update so I had forgotten it launched with only two enabled :)

Background recording? Not sure what you are referring to mate. I can't think of any recording modes or features that V+ has which Tivo doesn't. :confused:

I believe he is referring to the very useful feature of the V+ when you could record one or more programmes to a DVDR whilst using the V+ to watch something else. This was only possible because the V+ had a second, dedicated, SCART output on it.

It was because the V+ has a dedicated decoder for doing that. Tivo doesn't have that decoder, so background copying is not possible on current Tivo boxes
