Well, to be honest, there is no point in taking it all too seriously. If we can have a laugh at each others expense, that has be OK!

Now! Where's my B****Y Tivo.:rant:

Just back from Falkirk where I popped into the VM store to have a look at the TiVo....very impressive, however I did get some info from the staff.

They have been told they can start taking orders from anyone from Monday 18th April, this includes new customers. They had been told that information earlier this morning. The salesman also said that there is an iPhone and Android app in the works but he knew nothing about an iPad app.

The price he quoted was £149 plus £40 installation plus £3 per month, it wasn't clear if this was just for existing customers on XL only.

The ordering emails for pre regs are meant to go out from the 11th April, so if they get those out on time, it gives a week for pre regs to order before it goes out to general ordering.

Re: TiVo
 
Is it just me or could the delay in the pre-reg be down to another code drop for the box to get it better and also new apps or services, as i posted earlier in this thread about the I-PLAYER now only been accessed through the app?

Can someone confirm whether you can or can not select a recorded program to output via one of the scarts on TIVO and then carry on watching normal TV or another recording? At the moment I use this method not to archive/record onto DVD in the background, but to send recorded programs to kids bedrooms via scart output to RF modulator via coaxial runs to other rooms. It sounds like I would lose this with the new TIVO?

Also, would Virgin be likely to do a deal for people that would like to swap both of their Samsung V+ boxes? i..e. Would it be £149 x 2 + £40 x 2 + £3 extra per month or £6 extra per month?

At the moment I think the main issue people have, is that a 160gb HDD is not cutting it for HD recording times. The price is too high for people that have already invested in V+ tech.
