My box was always between 80% and 95% full, which meant that I had to delete some programmes that I wanted to watch in favour of things that were a higher priority at regular intervals. I am not a telly addict; I only watch about 2-3 hours per night Sunday to Thursday, and 2 or 3 hours more on Fridays and Saturdays, when I have late nights. So my programmes do build up, it's not as if I spend all day watching the TV, as some do! |

Due to the reason and that reason alone I have 2 boxes in my house and I have kept 1 TiVo so I can continue to use my Slingbox as that uses Scart like your video sender. I already had a 1Tb TiVo so the storage part to me is no difference but it was a joy to use iPlayer finally with fast access and the whole 1 hour programme worked with no buffering or cutting out completely. I know that could be due to location etc but it is connected wirelessly and hand no issues at all. ---------- Post added at 12:00 ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 ---------- Quote:
I watch a fair amount of tv and the wife says we should get more selective as we do watch what you could call trashy tv like Big Brother etc. Anyway once the kids have gone to bed and we are settled down it's typically 8pm and we go to bed at 10pm to wake at 6am for work the next day. Therefore always steadily building a collection of peak time viewing material we can't watch in front of the kids typically. I am currently using my new V6 to record HD versions of Sky Cinema films as they are not stored on demand in HD but don't get me started on that one. |

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
I wonder if some time in the future this box can be cloud enabled? There is little technical information about the specification of this box in the public field so perhaps it is only 1Tb as later down the line Virgin plan a cloud function to be activated on it perhaps??

Seen a pic of the V6 connection and it does seem to have some sort of scart out. However its a round connection so guess it would need some sort of adapter. Question is does it output from this the same time as the HDMI ? https://goo.gl/images/wrRKPm |

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
My two new Tivo boxes were installed today. It took just over an hour and they appear to be working perfectly. The two boxes communicate with each other and I can see all recordings on both boxes from each individual box. The only thing I am disappointed about is that you cannot see the planned recordings of both boxes from each box as well!
The speed is very good and well up to the standard you would expect. Straight into the Netflix and BBC i-Player apps, and no buffering! The V6 is a seriously good box and I would certainly recommend it from my experience of this afternoon. The installer changed my superhub to a more appropriate model and so I've had to change the passwords for all my i-phones, tablets, the smart TV, Netflix, Amazon and Now TV, but it was worth it! If anyone gets stumped with the pin number for access to programmes after 9pm and certain channels, VM have pre-set this as 1234. It's very easy to change this in the settings to a pin no of your choice. |

It's the other way around based on what Spiderplant has said i.e. there was never work done to enable to socket on the hardware within the code, rather than specific work done to block it.

For those who need a SCART to feed DVD recorders and RF modulators there's always the option of (yet another box) an HDMI to SCART convertor though so far the ones I've looked at don't seem to support the latest HDMI 2.1 standard (most are 1.3) so may fail to handle HDCP (rights protected) encoded material properly.

Point is that Tivo outputs to scart/hdmi simultaneously letting you use the HDMI for your main TV and the scart for other purposes (copying recordings to DVD, outputting to a video sender). In this respect the V6 is much less versatile - suspect there are commercial reasons behind it. Guess it depends on your set up and what you want to do. I'm glad I found about this issue before 'upgrading'. |
Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Just got my v6 install completed. How does everyone have their video output settings selected?
Having a 4k TV, I have noticed that having 720p ticked in the settings, will have all programmes showing in 720p (I can see this by selecting 'i' on my sony TV remote. So I have currently 2160p, 2160p pass-through, 1080p, 1080p pass-through, 1080i selected. When playing youtube 4k videos, my TV changes to 2160p fine. When I play the BBC 4k HLR test, my TV stays in 1080i. Should I have just 2160p set in the video output so that any 4k content that does show up will be shown correctly? |

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
No. You can transfer series links. recording Wishlists and Thumbs but recordings themselves
Some people have opted to keep their existing TiVo which can be done for £7.50 a month whilst they clear down the recordings they want to watch. If you connect the TiVo and V6 boxes together via your home network you can stream recordings between the two |

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Customer Services can arrange for it to be installed.
Whether you'd get any fee reduction from the standard costs will be up to the conversation you have with Virgin Media. But there is no guarantee that you'll get any reduction - especially if you're on VIP so are already getting preferred costs for it. |

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
2 x V6's installed today. Really happy and deliver everything I wanted (so far!)... Fast (instant pretty much), seamless search is worth using now and jumps into Netflix etc quickly and it is just as quick as the 4K app on our Panasonic TV (if not quicker). Now have Netflix on our bedroom TV also which is a bonus.
Still need to test the recording sharing between boxes etc but so far I am very pleased, well worth £114 as it'll stop me throwing the remote at the TV in frustration :-) As most people agreed, no issue what so ever connecting to my ethernet switch rather than moving the SuperHub etc. As an aside they look much better in real life. The pictures make it look quite bulky but in fact it is small. Friendly installer arrived on time (and was patient as we did not hear the doorbell first time!) and got everything set up quickly. ---------- Post added at 18:35 ---------- Previous post was at 17:26 ---------- One question - I have gone only to copy the Series Links etc to one of the new boxes...

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
My V6 is coming Tuesday looking forward to getting rid of my TiVo which has become virtually unusable.
One thing the TiVo does is give a good HD picture I have not seen many reviews actually mention the picture quality. So for those of you who already have it what is the HD picture like? Is it better than the TiVo or comparable? |

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Hi,
First time on the forum for me - hello to all! I received a v6 yesterday and now have a problem.... Previously I was able to send the Tivo image from the ground floor to the loft room, allowing me to watch recordings etc on a second TV. I controlled this using the TV anywhere app. The image was sent by linking the Tivo scart to a Mercury RF Modulator. Via coax and a Labgear distribution unit the signal was sent to the second TV. The V6 doesn't have a working SCART out... So, is there a way of: 1. Using some kind of SCART adapter to connect the V6 to the Mercury modulator? 2. Linking the V6 and the second TV via ethernet? The two TVs are both linked to the home network (via a gigabit switch) using CAT 5 or 6 (I don't know which and I don't know how to check). Any ideas would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks |

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
This is the main reason I'm sticking with Tivo for now. The scart out allows feeds to other TVs and record to DVD/hard drive.

HI, After a bit of research, a bit more detail around my specific question: I would like to watch content from my Tivo V6 box in 2 different rooms. I achieved this with my old Tivo box using the scart out and a RF modulator over coax. I'm now looking at the ESYNIC HDMI Extender and ESYNIC HDMI splitter (The V6 has only one HDMI port) . The two TVs are connected via Cat 5 or Cat 6 (I don't know how to tell the difference, but it was fitted in late 2011) via a gigabit switch. Given the specification I have noted above, do you imagine this will work well? If the gigabit switch is and issue, I could connect directly using a coupler - what do you think? FYI: I have tested the connection by temporarily moving a second Tivo box to one of the rooms I'm working on. By linking the two boxes over my network (via the gigabit switch) I can stream full1080p recorded content between the two boxes. Any thoughts or ideas appreciated...... |
Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

The only difference is my HDMI extender doesn't need power but does need two Cat 5/6 cables the same length to work. Probably all that was available without spending a fortune at the time. I also need to use an IR sender for the remote to work in the other room. I'm looking to use the same setup when I eventually order a V6, should work the same with the added bonus of ditching the IR sender due to the V6 remote being RF |
Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Not a regular poster on here, but I try to read as much as what interests me. At the risk of asking questions that may have answers elsewhere here goes. I ordered my Tivo V6 before Christmas but unless I accepted a NYE install date they could not offer me any other install dates until 1st Feb, which in the end I accepted. I am a long standing loyal XL customer who started out life with NTL and still have an ntlworld.com email address. When the guy comes to take away by existing 1tb Tivo box and replace it with the new V6 will he have the ability to switch over all of my saved programmes to the new V6 box ? Also will he be able to switch over to the new V6 box all of my Series Link list as well or do I have to start again. I suspect I know the answer to this but thought I would enquire of the community for their experiences. I am further being charged £50 for this new V6 box even though I am a long standing loyal XL customer. I can but wonder if this will be refunded eventually in same way as the refund was sent to me when I was originally asked to pay for the Tivo 1tb box. I have no idea what the new V6 is going to bring me but from what I can glean it seems to be a big leap forward to the existing setup which is getting very slow and "clanky" - I invite your comments please. - Roger;)

In regards to the V6 to TiVo connection, it should have been discussed at the point of order that to stream between the two boxes a home network connection is required so you can plan appropriately for any additional kit that you would need. For the HDMI cable, do you mean that you weren't given one to allow both your boxes to work, as the V6 itself doesn't normally need a different type of HDMI cable to what you already have for TiVo. And for the app, the only thing I can suggest is ensure that your device is completely update to date for all apps and system service e.g. Android System WebView and other OS updates. |

For those who have a scart device that they want to connect to the Tivo, my understanding is that all they need to do is buy an HDMI to scart converter, which you can get on e-bay for less than £15. Surely, this is a non-problem. |
Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
If you need to output a signal elsewhere, as other people have mentioned the only option is via a HDMI Splitter and a HDMI to SCART or RCA convertor.
Such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/iSolem-1080.../dp/B006KZBC92 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neoteck-Con...=hdmi+to+scart https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tendak-Comp...omponent&psc=1 The key thing is that the Tivo will have to be set to output the correct signal via the 'test' option. I don't have my v6 and Slingbox hooked up to a 4K TV, but I'd think you can't have 2160p as an output option on the Tivo. I know by default the Tivo outputs 1080p at 60hz and I had to down it to 30hz as Slingbox doesn't support 60hz. Yes the V6 doesn't have a scart socket, but really it's not the end of the world :) |
Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Word of warning with HDMI splitters guys from my personal experience.
They split the picture fine but be careful with sound, especially for those with Amps. You can either have 5.1 OR stereo to both TVs, you cannot mix the two, all splitters just work that way. The work around is to set to stereo and use optical out for 5.1 between the TiVo and the Amp. This is why I was beyond annoyed that VM took a year to reactivate the optical out socket they broke after a software update in 2015. Worth considering for those that are looking to go down the splitter route |

I guess the countries where scart is still prominent, it will be enabled, other countries, where HDMI has become the standard, won't. But you're aiming your vitriol in the wrong place; it is content providers who are pushing to eradicate scart outputs, to prevent (in their mind) piracy. |
