faster than the SA/Silver TV Drive boxes but slower than the V+, hope this helps :D

Re: TiVo
 

I haven't used a V+ but as long as I can 'request' a channel change without having to make a cuppa before the actual change, then that's good. :D

TiVo = Smart phone for TV, "Bloody hell! You can watch telly on it as well!" :shocked::D

Re: TiVo
Reading all and considering what has been said within the threads. What disappoints me with this service, is that fact that VM's current V+ HD customers have already paid for their boxes and installation fees. In addition, the current V+ service isn't (to my mind) working as efficiently as it could, E.g with technical problems associated with: unexpected re-boots, picture pixelation, etc.

Now VM expects these loyal customers to pay through the nose again for a similar service that hasn't been technically proven on their infrastructure?

Okay, so these guinea pigs pays the £100+ for installation etc and then as a consequence end up with a flaky service, coupled with the hassle of loads of phone calls to a third world technical support service - yeah I can really see existing customers dashing out to get one of these.

Lets hope not all of us are that gullible!

Si thee

i must agree i got v+hd last xmas.overall picture is okay,no problems with the STB itself,but i will not join the tivo revolution.i have already paid for a good service,in fact i expect it.why should i pay out again.i feel no need to have the latest gadget,so i can brag to my mates,and send them to sleep(think sky 3D). good luck to anyone gullible(sp) to pay out for this tivo,but i will not be with you

Re: TiVo
 

Will the TiVo allow recorded programmes to be transferred from the HDD? To, say, another computer, or even a mobile phone?

Virgin don't expect customers do anything

Virgin are offering people a choice. Those that want to upgrade, can. Those that don't want to, don't have to

Re: TiVo
 

But they want to transition everyone over to the TiVo in two years. Surely that's force?

Re: TiVo
 

Wasn't talking about those plans, for which we have zero concrete details. Who knows, they may swap all the boxes out for free - but until they announce exactly what is happening it's all speculation

I was talking, as I believe was chris123, about the premium TiVo service that was announced.

Re: TiVo
 

Ah right, sorry.

Re: TiVo
 

1. are you staff member too?

2. are you paying for the box or the installations?

3. have you got vacancies? :p:

Re: TiVo
 

It will be people who pre registered an interest who will get them first.;)

Re: TiVo
 

If VM ring you about installing TIVO, do they use an 0800 number and if so does anyone know what it is?

It's just that I have so many 0800 numbers blocked on my phone that I just want to make sure that I haven't inadvertantly blocked them in the past.

0800 052 2312

Re: TiVo
 

Just been through to the Indian call centre and asked for the latest info. . .


She said it would be a one off payment of £145 inc fitting (I'm on XL Tv) but that I wont be contacted before Jan 1st. :(


Cant be sure how reliable the info was but it did sound like she was reading it from a script.
