I think you will probably find they're very few people having problems, they're 220,000+ VM TiVos out there, they're bound to be people having problems just like with any complex product. Just like there are plenty of people having problems with V+s.

That's a very negative attitude. If we were all to adopt that view nobody would ever upgrade to anything new.:redcard:

I have three Tivo's in my house and I am perfectly happy with all three. The Tivo is a huge step forward in PVR technology. Those that are complaining are focusing on, in my opinion, very minor niggles.:Peaceman:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Also a lot of people's problems will go away soon.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

l have two Tivo's in my household and they are light years ahead of Virgin's other boxes and its certainly the best money l have spent on STB's but of course there will be a few niggles and l expect these will be ironed out in the coming months and my advice to those who have a few problems is just be a little more patient.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

indeed ;)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

That's a fair point i suppose. What about the red button, does it support things like sky sports match choice yet as this is a service we do use on a regular basis.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

The red button will be added to Tivo in the coming months and will support Sky Sports match choice.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

If you use red button I would wait until there is parity with the V+.

Don't you mean the following " And this new box leaves Sky+ looking like a relic from a bygone era " :D

Interesting to see the two companies comparisons

Virgin Medias http://tivo.virginmedia.com/v2/tivo-table.php

Sky's http://www.sky.com/shop/boxes/1TB/popup/

Yes master thats the quote l was looking for but yes it is amazing to see the two companies comparisions.:D

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

If I had to play devils advocate , I'd like the TIVO software with Sky's dynamic EPG and Sky's superior recording hours.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I'll grant you the Dynamic EPG but what do you mean by the "superior recording hours"?:confused:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Isn't the extra storage on a sky box taken up by its on demand service? You know, the one Virgin customers can access without any drop in storage capacity or broadband speed.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Meaning VM TIVO will record 120 hrs HD but due to Sky using Mpeg 4 their 1tb box will record 240 hrs HD. I suppose this will change with VM if they ever make the switch.

No as the Sky+HD 1TB is actually 1.5TB , 1TB for personal use and 500gb for Anytime.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I hope when the red button comes to TiVo it is more stable than it is on the V+ at times! In relation to mpeg4 it is only legacy STB that are holding VM back from switching?
