Good post from Chad above, the amount of channels we actually watch is probably even less than your 12

My problem is I love my sport so for me it's about getting those channels for the best deal I can find

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Indeed.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

your a TiVo fan there's nothing wrong with that but to say its better than skys offering (sorry sir but your way off the mark there) the menu takes an age to go thru to get where you want to go the apps take ages to get going it can take the iplayer up to and over 2 minutes to watch a programme on sky the same can take 30 sec. skys offering is way in front.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

l would say being neutral here that Sky are in front on some things and Virgin are in front on others.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Same with youview it's a matter of seconds from selecting iplayer to playing the programme i wish to watch, all other pps aka netflix are the same too almost instant.
TIVO is a clunky piece of crap imo very outdated now.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Yes in your opinion and that's what it is all about in people having and sharing their opinions about things although l don't quite share the same opinion..

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Exactly mate that's what makes forums so great too seeing everyones opinion on things, if we all had the same opinions it'd be a very boring world lol :D

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

I have experience of Sky at family visits and nothing in the world would make me give up Tivo for one of their machines... but that is my opinion some agree others do not.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Some people are happy to trade a little bit of speed for the superior functionality of Tivo.


Tivo's processing power is a little old now, and therefore slower than more modern devices. The speed of Tivo is absolutely fine for me. But if you want very fast loading of Netflix and iplayer, you could always add another device, such as the Amazon Fire TV.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Been looking a this as well, as we barely use the Tivo now, and mainly watch streaming. With Xbox One, it has all the catch up services so if you miss something just watch it there.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

That's part of the problem, I would say that Tivo is barely functional. I have Tivo, Sky+HD & Freeview boxes in front of me right now and I can't think of any test where Tivo would finish in the top 2.

Incidentally, Sky are now pushing their 'Sports Pack' at £22.75pm for 12 months - includes Atlantic, Living, Fox, Universal etc.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Then you really need to report it IMHO. There must be something wrong with it

The other boxes don't have as much to do and likely are faster. But as I've said, functionality is more important to some people.

Talking of functionality, you never answered my question on Sky's 'Never miss' compared to Tivo's Whishlists ;):D

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

They must be losing money hand over fist with some of their offers but it must work as their overall profits still seem to rise.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

NO!!!! I wonder how many Tivo users would actually use the above - other than your goodself of course.

But then I could never get Wishlists working anyway - it couldn't even find Kojak! I prefer to spend 10 minutes a week scanning my TV guide and marking the progs I want to record, far quicker.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I missed it.

Re: What would stop you cutting the cord?
 

Impossible to get through to retentions last night, wonder how many people are having similar conversations with them

Will try again this morning
