Tivo 500gb will start to be installed on 11th May, seems a cheap way to get extra pvr.

1 v+ = £49
1 500gb tivo = £49

2 500gb tivo = £49

2 x 500GB Tivo = 2 x £49.95 = £99.90. The price is per TiVo box

EDIT: Just realised that's not what you meant.

However the whether you can do what you've said or not hasn't been confirmed. As the TiVo box is an HD box, then it's likely the V+ would actually cost £99 as per the current additional HD rules (or the TiVo will cost more)

I wonder if there is a problem in the Cisco box production and some boxes are not being set up correctly?

I have the same concern about the TiVo remote. I have no problems with it but there are many reports about how directional it is. I can point my remote in any direction, even bouncing it off the opposite wall, and it works the box no problem. If so many others are reporting the opposite there must be a variation in production that has not being picked up by quality control.:confused:

With those numbers who in there right mind would chose a V+ as a new install/upgrade, the only thing I could think of is the £3 monthy charge for TiVo!

I seriously doubt they are commissioning anymore V+ boxes. I think once the current stocks run out your V+ will get replaced with a TiVo 500GB one, unless they have a 250GB TiVo in the pipe line(which I doubt)

Too true but they have said the V hd box will be able to run the TIVO software so they may start replacing them with these (unless they want to pay the extra for the PVR).

These are just my thoughts?

Old people can't work TiVo, they can just about manage v+

Define old? I'm sure some old people may have issues but my parents (both over 60) had no problem with the S1 Tivo and don't have a problem with the V+ either. Though, of course, I suppose I should add that 60 isn't that old :D
