I don't think you can start at a set minute like the current V+ but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know if the TiVo box let's you start from anywhere when it's still recording the programme?

I just got an apology email as well, they said they know I am not called Deeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn.

I've never use that. What's the reason to use it? I either start at the beginning or where I last stopped.

If the box crashes while you are watching a recording it doesn't remember where you were stopped. Trust me my V+ crashes that much that it's a necessary feature! :rolleyes:

Yup got the same thing, the data must be few days old because I updated the name on my account using the new VM Customer Zone the other day:rolleyes:. No price change though !!

This is probably going to sound like a really dumb question, but can anyone who currently has TiVo please confirm that it has the basic functionality of the V+HD, such as fast forwarding at different speeds (x2, x6, x12, x30), pausing and rewinding live TV, being able to stop playback of a recording and then resume from the same point etc?

Cheers

I called Sky earlier this evening after that TiVo email where VM called me valued customer whilst getting my name wrong and trying to rob me blind! :p:

They were happy to do me the 1TB box for £150 when I mentioned that's the price a friend has just got it for. They also offered free installation with a price of £98.50 all in for everything (TV, BB, Phone) including a 2nd HD box. :shocked:

I then proceeded to called VM and choose the thinking of leaving us option, explaining my reasons regarding TiVo and the helpful young lady mentioned the price in my email today won't be the final one come launch. This seems in line with what DF is saying.

Glad VM are listening and a lower price will mean they will most likely continue to receive my £100 a month. I feel this would be the best outcome for both VM and myself. ;)
