Do you have to pay a Netflix sub on top of your regular VM sub to use this service?

Then just do not use the Netflix app on Tivo then and do not worry about the millions of potential Netflix customers on Tivo who may be happy with what is on offer ;)

As it's only at trial stage, full details have not yet been confirmed. The BBC suggested the following:

"The BBC understands that Virgin may offer Netflix as part of a bundled service."

It went through all the settings and then allowed you to select 1080p. I'd imagine it would let you do the same. The 1080p was only at 25hz though


Just tried it on my bedroom setup where the tivo video out doesn't go through the AV amp; it goes directly to an HDMI input on the TV (5.1 audio is via Tivo's optical out to the amp).

I get the same problem; 1080p not supported. The TV is an older model than the lounge one; Sony 40W2000, but still is 1080p capable. I have a second WDTV Live SMP, and that connects at 1080p just fine, as have previously connected Blueray players.

Another HDMI conundrum.

God knows what's going on then. I'm assuming you went through the test bit as I said. Did it say "If you see an image press thumbs up 3 times" when it went through each output setting on the test section? Just trying to think why it allowed me to do as i said but won't let you. I run the Tivo box via HDMI through a Sony surround sound system by the way but wouldn't think that alters anything regarding the Tivo setting we're on about. Sorry to others on this thread if this is going astray from the original topic.

I did the test and it went through the different resolutions.... 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i.

It said to press Thumbs up once if you saw an image which I did on all the above resolutions. It then did the final one (1080p I presume) and the screen went blank followed by an unsupported resolution notice.

It only said to press thumbs up once for each resolution, not three times.

I just tried it again and it was press thumbs up once. **** knows where i got three times from!. I do use reading glasses so maybe i need my eyes tested again :erm: It still went through to the 1080p resolution though :confused:

I think you can only get to work in 1080p if you already have access to netflix via TiVo, mine runs at 1080p 24 frames but before hand I could only get it to run 1080i

Interesting. Where does it show the 24fps?

I know a lot of US Netflix, both film and TV shows, are 24fps, but not sure what most of the UK content is. (I think Spiderplant said somewhere that it varies?)

I have my WD box set to output 1080p/24 and it works fine for all Netflix regions.
