Can any TiVo users confirm how quick the EPG updates when there's a last-minute change to the schedule as the old V+HD EPG takes an age to update and sometimes it doesn't update at all.

Just had a glance at the app on iPod touch , how come you can't schedule a recording for Sky Sports and Sky Movies ?

Getting it right would be nice,Shouldn`t have to check stuff programmed in correctly everyday,The V+ is certainly more reliable.Feel for the peeps paying £3 for this.Hopefully they will get this sorted and its a short term problem

I received mine yesterday (500gb) and love it.

Extra space for HD recordings is great, love the new tv guide, managed to work out series link recording....this is going to be something as features continue to grow. I think the picture quality is great.

Well done Virgin....I received it 2 days after I ordered it and installed in less than half an hour.

Even renogoatiated my contract and the box will pay for itself in 4 months with no reduction in services.

Also use the app to record and that is very useful

The main features are suggestions which though a intuitive system you can rate programmes which you watch with a hand up or down system also there are wish lists and search list and also there is a far superior EPG guide in which you can go back 7 days for catch up on demand also there are several apps which will be added to in the near future by quite a bit including Spotify and ther areseveral other features which l suspect you like like, anyway good luck with your install.

I didn't wait! I had my second TiVo installed yesterday. Very pleasant installer. He phoned the day before and also 30 minutes before he arrived to keep me up to date. So I now have a TiVo in my den that's all mine, mine, mine! He!He!:cleader:
