Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 
Had my TiVo installed about 1/2 hour ago. Really good engineer, had installed 3 boxes today. He knew what he was doing and was confident with the box and showing me the functions! Also said to me that I was having my box relocated. This was news to me!! On his PDA it was a straight swap, after contacting VM was told V+ was being relocated for no charge!! Bonus. :angel:


Also told me that if box wasnt being relocated it would come up with error on PDA half way through TiVo install. V+ box works perfect.

The engineer was great, credit to VM.

There is a thread in the VM community forum about a problem in Leicester. There is no excuse for not letting you know though. Ask to be compensated.

I got a call from Virgin yesterday offering me the free multiroom (my TiVo install is next Wednesday).

Now, I have read that some customers have been contacted by Virgin that their broadband is going to be upgraded from 10Mb to 20Mb for free because of TiVo. Is this true? And if it is then would Virgin call me about it or will I have to contact them?

Yeah prob with the headend in Leicester. After some update or something it wasnt set to allow Tivo services. Just had a call from the engineer I think and assured me that I will have in installed first thing tomorrow morning. So just 24 hrs late. Not the engineers fault but CS were terrible was told earlier on that the whole tivo service in UK had gone down!!!! Comes as no surprise that it wasnt a UK call centre that said that:dozey:

anyway roll on tomorrow morning I hope:confused:

BBC, ITV, Channel4 and Channel 5 only release up to 10 days worth of guide, most other channels should have 14 days.

Could it be that the tivo has still not downloaded everything since installation.

Me too. Goes as far as 6am on Sat 7th May. But my TiVo was only installed yesterday morning so I expected the box to take a while to update. But you have had yours for a few weeks, haven't you?

Don't know. My last connect to VM by Tivo was 2AM today. Maybe they don't have a full 2 week guide available?
