ok i got a question

i'm on vip 50 and got a v+ in main room and silver standard samsung box in my bedroom

my intention is to get tivo installed in main room and v+ moved into bedroom to replace silver standard samsung box

so my question is will both boxes have HD and premium HD channels?

not a big issue if not cause it's a standard tv in bedroom
(just want v+ in bedroom for recording function)

You will get the free HD channels on the second box, but not the Premium HD channels (you would have to pay another £7 to get these channels in HD on the second box). I think this is something imposed by SKY, as the £10 SKY HD fee is per box and not per account.

so basically my v+ card has to go in tivo to keep premium HD on that?

will the card in my silver standard samsung work in the v+?

or does tivo require a new card anyway?


so if i'm confusing, i'm not really tech saavy lol

The cards won't physically change. Your Tivo will come with a new card. They will just transfer the services from one card to another. Remember, cards are "tied up" to a particular box and can't be used in any other box.

ahhh cool ;) thanks for helping mate :cool:

so it's a case of phoning up and telling them to put HD premium on tivo and not v+

I think they will do the transfer automatically, since they will see your Tivo box as the primary box. But I am guessing here, you can give them a call to confirm.
