Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

The new version of code for the V6 box is currently in pilot. Not everyone will have it yet and there isn't any way to force getting it.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Thanks Ben.
Overall I think the V6 is a fine bit of kit, but the Eco Savings and Netflix problems do need fixing quickly. Hopefully the new code will address these issues.

BenMcr, is there any talk about these new remotes for the V6?
I had mine replaced as we had to 'squeeze' the old one to get it to work properly.
Now the replacement is starting to misbehave in the same way.

Couldn't see anywhere to post about faults specifically, so I thought I'd post it here.

Every time I've gone to use BBC iPlayer in the past week or so, the programme starts with sound (and even subtitles) but no picture. This is through the last weeks catch up menu and the iPlayer app.

Any else experienced any problems?

Seriously, this is an issue that needs resolving. Have you contacted Customer Services?

Cured by a reboot.

Having the V6 box fitted at the end of the month whats the quality like compared to the original Tivo box and the speed and ease of usage

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Much much quicker......

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Well l am only going by my own opinion but lets just compare it to summer and winter and l think you will get the gist of what l am saying.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I thought those two seasons were much the same nowadays.....:D

Come on MM our inclement weather can't be that bad.;):D

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Much faster, just like the old Tivo was before they messed about with it.:mad:

It's unlikely you will have any recording clashes as you have extra tuners.:)

Because the V6 doesn't have an independent Internet feed it's dependant on your regular modem/router. This can be problematic.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I find it less problematic, BBC Iplayer doesnt buffer for a start

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I don't know why you say it's mors problematic, but maybe it depends on your set up.

I was worried I might have problems, but they haven't transpired as yet.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I suppose if you're unlucky enough to have a pants internet connection then you could have some issues.

It's good to read multi-room streaming seems to be OK, that was one of the big issues we had with the old TiVo and when VM broke the performance we jumped ship.

More than happy with SkyQ but will be checking out our options in 6 months and you never know we could well be back.

Cheers
