Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

The lead times vary hugely between the regions, so knowing the national average won't really help you. All you can do is ring up and see what date they quote.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Ive just got a TiVo and i have to say im quite loking it.

I have upgraded from a V+ box, On my old STB i could get the News in text format.

Can you get the same with the Tivo box and if so how?

Not currently, but a full red button/interactive service will be available by end of Q1 next year.

Weather and entertainment apps are available though.

We are working with our content partners to extend this with new Red Buttons services before the end of this year. We hope to have a full range of Red Button services early next year

It says red button services before the end of this year which most likely would be BBC and Sky Sports.
A full range would include QVC , Challenge , Cartoon Network etc.

but if you ordered Tivo you could move your v+ into another room for no extra monthly charge. You would only Â£3 per month. I personally think the free multiroom offer will end when tivo has full red button services.

I could do but i only live in a one bedroom flat,and do not really have the room or desire for a tv in the bedroom hence i do not need two boxes.:)

Went for a TiVo box swap online and was given a date of Saturday 10th December for the install. Quick question this box swap from V+ will not effect any retention deal that I have will it?
