Re: 500GB tivo
 
Is £50 the intro price for 500gb tivo? Will it go up like the 1TB drive did?

No the 500gb will not go up in price.

Just rang to order the 500gb. I really should have read the small print £49.95 + installation LMFAO, you must be joking.

My V+ does the job - upscales very well, records what I want and has BBC iplayer.

Virgin you can ram your boxes on these deals you swines, get a big warehouse. You'll need it.

Uh, you do realise that TiVo also has iPlayer, right?. A more comprehensive iPlayer than the V+ at that.

It looks the same as the WII I-Player version but with the inclusion of BBC HD channel?

Indeed it does however there are a lot of reports stating it is useless at the moment and full of bugs. apologies for the lack of clarity.

it may be unfair to slate tivo but virgin are making a hash of it. im sure it will come good but for now best off at arms lenghth.

If you do not like it or are wary of it there is one simple solution. Stay away and do not get it? I won one of the 1TB boxes and with all the faults that it has, I would not go back to the V+.

This is my choice and do not want to push my choice on anyone.

I know that VM have a hash of the initial offerings of TiVo but what have they done now to make it a Hash?

Theres nothing wrong with my tivo which has been superb since l had it installed 3 weeks ago.
