Re: PVR release dates
 

Hi Newtod

Its not that its not available in the solent region, I suspect the its more like they've either run out of installation dates or the boxes themselves. blueview must be just down the road from you (hes PO16) and he got a date okay as did I (PO9) and Crooky in Gosport. I think there just trying to stager the demand by claiming its not avaliable

Sorry - I did put that it was a different price with XL, but forgot to add the amount.
It's interesting to note that if you currently have an additional STB, that will cost you £15 per month. Take the V+ box on the new rates, and keep your existing STB, and the cost is £10 + £5 per month. Same price, so for anyone currently with two boxes, it makes sense to change one and pay the same rate.

Yeah, I have seen the PDF but when I saw BlueViews comments above

I think I got confused.

No matter though, once I've convinced the missus that V+ is the way forward then I'll be subscribing.

Re: PVR release dates
 

I would encourage BlueView to check the bill when it comes! ;)

Re: PVR release dates
 

Hello.
Can someone please let me know if it is possible to copy from the box to a dvd recorder.

Just wondered as might want to backup stuff that wanted to keep ?

Cheers

Re: PVR release dates
 

Yes. :)

Re: PVR release dates
 

Cheers, might just ring them tonight then :D

Did I not also read somewhere that you can set it off outputting and watch something else while you're copying off onto dvd?

Re: PVR release dates
 

You certainly can! The V+ Extras section includes "Copy to VCR/DVD" - this will play any recorded content you select to the VCR SCART only, leaving you free to watch whatever you want on the TV SCART/HDMI/Component outputs while the recorded programme copies over! And you can still record two other programmes at the same time. :D

For it to copy HD content, though, you'll need the main output to be in SCART mode.

After getting the virgin media mailing shot through the post i emailed NTL about the availability of the V+ box in Stoke on Trent.
Got a very imformative reply.
We are able to order the V+ box from the begining of feburary. Not long to wait now. :)

I wish people the best of luck on getting a tv drive installed after the crap i went through, from not turning up about 3 times to the installer turning around on my drive way and wheel spining away and reporting it as a not at home,

Re: PVR release dates
 

Just to throw a spanner into the works - I actually said to the V Box agent :
"So the extra net cost to me for the V Box and the non-connected old Samsung Box is £10 a month"
His answer : "Yes. You can have the Samsung connected later if you wish, but by leaving it on the premises you'll save the £75 installation fee."
I honestly can't see anyone sensibly sending the old box back.
When connected and used for a year and then cancelled it'll cost £60 whilst sending it back will cost £75 !
