I thought that it may be the TV, But now we have had another code drop I thought that I would try the HDMI again and it is all working now.

So when they released the newest code drop could that have solved the problem of the HDMI handshake that people have been having problems with (answers on the back of a postcard):confused:

No offence but can't see how it's come back to bite them when Sky has more Sky+ subscribers worldwide than TIVO. Sky+ is used in the Uk and Sky Italia and I believe in other countries .

Broadband TV News understands that the link between the iPlayer and TiVo may be restored later in the year.

Doesn't sound like they will change it , however the full version is probably a better option. Sky want the beeb to pick up the cost to build them a personalised version to run on their STB , the way it reads is that the Beeb may build another version but at the platforms cost.

Who cares? This thread is about TiVo, not Sky+ :rolleyes:

Why are you constantly banging on about Sky on here? :confused:

VM only have bbc catchup on the V+ because the beeb control the look and feel of the epg.

VM arn't part of youview for the same reason as the beeb etc demand VM use the same look and feel epg and VM are going over to tivo epg which is not acceptable.

Sky only interested in youview because it now has decided to allow pay to view content where up till now Sky have attacked it.

Unless Sky can do a deal with the beeb etc to store content on computers in the phone exchange and to use their own anytime epg then no catchup will appear due to Sky having to pay BT for data usage and it would cost them a fortune.

Anyway with Sky having spent 6 months trying to roll out anytime+ and still not having it on all boxes how do they think that they could do catchup any other way.......:p:

Because he changed to Sky and is stuck with it for 12 months.:p:


No TiVo and lack of VOD, he has to try to justify his move or he might spend the night in tears........:D

Lets face it Sky and VM both have there advantages, Sky have the linear channels and VM have catch up and BB for now.

Until VM add more content Sky will always have that advantage, likewise Sky will never be able to match VOD. No system is perfect for one reason or another, each to his own.
