Re: Blasted EPG errors
 

Well, I don't know what you expect VM to do. You are viewing through old boxes, and with all the channels we now have, they can't cope as they used to.

So you have more channels, but fewer days on your EPG. Would you prefer fewer channels?

You get what you pay for, old chap.

Perhaps I would rather not pay to upgrade to a Tivo considering I had to pay to upgrade to a VH+ box just as they decided to go to the Tivo..Considering the equipment actually belongs to VM I don't see why I have to pay to upgrade from the out of date VM owned V+..

Re: Blasted EPG errors
 

I suspect that as the V6 is rolled out that V+ users will be offered the old version of the TiVo free of charge.

This will benefit VM as I believe that they will be able to broadcast using less bandwidth.

There were tremendous issues with them running slow, eg 20/30 seconds to get to a recording and another 20/30 seconds to wait for it to start to play, but a recent software update appears to have improved this.

Re: Blasted EPG errors
 

And of course, that is fine. But would you rather have the increased number of channels or the recent restrictions on your EPG?

Re: Blasted EPG errors
 

The guide data was reduced to 5 days a few years ago when the number of channels greatly increased. VM now have many more channels than were envisaged when the V+ was designed, so something had to give.

Well I pay a lot so should expect better!
