Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I would like to hope if the Samsung boxes are in anyway better (ie. larger hard drive ,extra tuners ) than the Cisco boxes then those of us who took VM Tivo from the beginning will get free upgrades to the new box. I would also hope that those of us who have Galaxy pads (or any other android pads ) will get the same app as the iPads at the same time.

What would be the point of scrapping boxes less than six months old? The Samsung boxes will be the SAME as the Cisco boxes - apart from who makes them

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I was only thinking that maybe new boxes would be the same as the new American TiVos with the four tuners, as we all know VM could and would bring this out if they thought it would bring in new customers (ie. new Samsung V+ boxes an upgraded box UK5 but I still have the SA V+ UK4 ),so VM have done it before and I`m sure they could again.

The Samsung box will look the exact same as the current Cisco box and feature the same size of hard drive. It's simply a case of dual vendor like VM are doing with the Superhub.

If nothing elese my current V+HD Samsung box is great so with a bit of luck the TiVo box will be just a quick. :)

You just compared two totally different VM boxes, so no wonder they are different sizes.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Stephen ,I have seen plenty of posts saying how much quicker and better in other ways the sammy v+ is when compared it to the SA v+. If this turns out to be the same with the new sammy Tivo then VM should surely offer early adopters the new box as an free exchange.

Let`s hope so Stephen. By the way still got my original SA v+ and wouldn`t swap for a sammy if you paid me.

That's because we're still in the middle of the UK5 rollout. You'll get it on the SA in the next few weeks.

I would never go back to an SA after changing to the Sammy. However I no longer use that either since getting TiVo.

I can assure you that it's just Vm taking on a second vendor for the box. It will be no different at all.
