Not sure of that I would still try and quote the code. That is just my opinion?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Phoned up the TiVo team again and ordered the box within minutes with confirmation that I will not lose any discounts. I'll just be charged an additional £3 per month.

Install is booked for 4th May.

Just a couple of quick questions;

1) Are all TiVo customers, that haven't had multiroom in the past, being offered the free multiroom deal? I take it that I will be contacted by Virgin about this offer before the install date.

2) I have seen that some 10Mb broadband customers are being upgraded to 20Mb for free when they get TiVo. Is this another offer that Virgin will call me about?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I apologise.

I was certain you could not "skip" through OD content. Well, you couldn't the last time I tried it anyway; and I'm sure you couldn't on V+ either when I last had it.

Seems either it has been introduced recently or my memory is worse than I thought.

:o:

NOTE: Sorry for the edit, fixerman. I just went upstairs to try it out :D

I have just been watching the snooker on BBC2 in SD. I have to say the picture quality is outstanding.:)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

You can't resist it can you :D

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Graciously accepted!;) and...........you are able to skip forward and back on the V+ by pressing button 3 or 1 during VOD.:)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yeah. I remember that now. :o:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I think my sarcasm detector is off but if you are serious, and can tolerate wild subjectivity, I get the very slightest impression that over all, SD PQ has improved in the last 24 hours. Ie the first day it just seemed bad, HD was good but all other channels including BBC were poor. Now I'm watching today and the same channels look...well...ok, even good.

It may well just be a natural biological correction process, now that I haven't seen a V+ images for a few days.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Right, install was 3 hours ago and EPG still only going out until Tomorrow. Is it normally that slow, I go away tomorrow and have to set up some recordings.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Ok, so had my install this morning.
Top bloke, was here about an hour. Everything went very well.
Took the V away and put the V+ in its place.
First impressions...Good, im not as amazed as i thought i would be.
Didnt think i would, but noticed a 'softer' pic on ITV sd.
Menus seem slow. Setting up lots of series links is frustrating. Is there no way to set padding, etc as defaults.
Tv guide seems too complex. To much info going on. Too many channels, progs on one screen.
When your watching a programme and click OK (or info) sometimes a green bar appears to show how far you can rewind. Does it only appear after viewing the channel for sometime?

Ps. EPG took about an hour to update too a couple of weeks and catch up wasnt working.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

:shocked: The V+ only showed about 1 hour of time (90 mins I think) which I found deeply frustrating, now you can see at least 2 hours of primetime for all the main channels on one screen. So so much easier!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Ok. I seem to have the opp view!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

You will get used to it and yes it does take a while for all the data to be downloaded?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Really missing the skipable playlists on music, (when you pressed 1 for back and 3 for the next track) and have totally given up trying to search through the music videos.
Is it my tivo or should I be able to search "all tv" and get music videos listed there too, as there is no search optoin in music on demand. Thers a picture in the tivo hand book showing a search and a "music note! symbol next to justin bieber, meaning it is a music video?

also Im probably stupid but how do you stop a recording? When I press the stop button, tivo goes to a menu screen but the recording still plays in the corner?? Sorry if this sounds daft.
