The press release says there is now support for profiles across all devices. Can anyone confirm if this applies to the Virgin TiVo?

I much prefer the new UI over the old one , I use it on my PS4 and Roku 3.


It looks prettier and clearer but im finding it a bit slower to load up?? maybe it was just because it was loading up for the first time??

Must admit Vince I saw a little bit of lag and background images slower to load on the TIVO , its fine on my PS4 and Roku 3 however.

Totally agree, took ages to load up last night, not that impressed!

I've not had HD since the update. Just SD 480. If they don't improve it I'll be digging out the Apple TV again.

I wish they would make an Amazon Instant Android streaming APP for my tablet.

Is it a film that you've partly watched before? They pick up where they left off.

There's a bug I noted on here before where sometimes Netflix starts streaming, then buffers almost immediately and stops at the 25% mark, then when you stop the movie if you choose to resume it picks up in the middle somewhere depending how long you left it buffering. Similar to that? It's still present on the new version.

cheers mate for clearing that up for me

Seems some of the larger ISP's in the USA are looking to get fees off Netflix , Netflix have already agreed a deal with Comcast. Could this repeat itself over here ?

If that happens then the monthly fee that many people pay will rise and thus a good reasonable value service will suddenly not be value at all.
