One question I've got is, I've had 100mb broadband fitted, I do a speed test and it's only showing 55mb download speed. But the virgin tech says it's all fine and I'm showing 92-98mb on there system? Is speed test a good reading and has anyone with 100mb connection get better readings than me?

you'd be better posting in the Virgin Broadband part of this site for your broadband questions. :)

Maybe better asking the question in the internet forum , some really knowledgeable people in there.

Is there a reason that the registration site is now saying sign up before March 13th to be the first to know more about Tivo?

BenMcr 12-03-2011 12:34

Re: TiVo
 
I would assume because the pre-registration closes after that?

The Twitter client - have they done it 'right' or 'wrong'?

By this, I mean can it overlay on live TV? Can it tweet the current program name you're watching, or even a shortened link to that program on the VM site? Or is it as bad as the Xbox 'full screen, doing nothing else' one.. :(
