Sorry but I don't think it's right to call anybody a fantasist I don't think so, that is insulting somebody it's wrong

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

The £200 figure has not come from VM, it has not confirmed that price. But the point of Sky following the VM model of renting boxes including free support and not selling boxes outright is valid whatever price is charged.

I'm sorry but we're veering into dreamland here. VM has not announced any pricing or content plans for the box so we can't start to compare its offering with Sky's. And if we did we'd need to include all costs including line rental etc not just marginal additional costs.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

According to Spiderplant, someone made that rumour up. What would you describe that person as?

Given that people do this sort of thing to purposely stir things up, fantasist sounds like a fairly charitable description to me.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Why all this panic?

Sky's existing customer up-grade price for Sky Q Silver Bundle (cheapest offer) is £149 (£99 activation + £50 install) plus commitment to £56+ for next 12m, Hardly cheap. Virgin's existing customer offer is hardly incomparable to this, really.

Sure, new customer prices being quoted everywhere but.......

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

While I agree false rumours on purpose is wrong, this person might be reading wrong info but not intention, so until your sure it's not right to call them a fantasist

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I am afraid that there is plenty of speculation on these threads, it's the nature of the beast. But there are some who deliberately spread false information for whatever reason.

Frankly, speculation is pretty pointless at this stage. Look at what has been said about the pricing structure, for example. However, what is really daft is to take these figures seriously and then take pops at Virgin Media for such prices. Which don't exist!

Funny old world, really :walk:

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Totally agree. By all means criticise VM for things like lack of 4G but as Old Boy says, don't knock VM for unconfirmed prices.
Regarding the fantasist, I understand that the balance of evidence points this way so people are right to call the poster out on this. VM could take more drastic action against the poster for slander but clearly have chosen to ignore the untruths.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Fantasists exist on all forums and cableforum is no differant. If you were to do a search of this forum you will find many posts that turn out to be complete bull excreta :D

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

As we all say Virgin will announce their pricing structure when they are good and ready as we have to remember OB that there are always one or two posters who adopt pseudonyms but sooner or later they will always be caught out by their own so called cleverness as the trail will always find its way back to them in the end.;)

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Perhaps Virgin haven`t announced the prices yet for their new boxes because they`re still testing the water to see how much they can get away with charging customers? As previous posters have said whatever the price is when it`s first launched it`s sure to come down within a few months just like the tivo box did. The key for me is don`t rush in to get it at launch because the fewer uptakes at the start will force down the price much quicker and perhaps lower.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Perhaps she has learnt from those infamous comments as we all make comments which later in hindsight we might regret.

In my experience with technology there's little joy in the pain of being an early adopter - you pay a premium for living with the inevitable bugs and frustrations of new tech.
I'll wait - I'm used to waiting for things to happen, I've got a TiVo!

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

If VM announced prices now then Sky would only alter theirs and VM would have to change theirs making their original prices meaningless. Far better to see how Sky Q is performing and then announce their prices in December. But even then, the number of special deals that VM and Sky do makes price lists irrelevant at times.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

My Sony TV has over 100 Apps (Opera-based) - all but the usual suspects are crap. The only one worth having that's not on TiVo already is Amazon Video, which takes a while to load but is a nice complement to Netflix and iPlayer

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Sorry above didn`t come out very well! What I was saying was that virgin will have to announce their prices at some point and then sky could just reduce theirs to compete!

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

That's the trouble with App Stores. Since Apple and Google made their own successful ones, it seems as though every manufacturer of any device with a CPU has to include an app store.

The trouble is, very few apps beyond games, streaming apps, fitness apps, social media apps and news apps are really any use. Your average smart TV doesn't have enough processing power to be a decent games machine, nor is it small enough to be worn or carried (so fitness apps are out). Social media is partly usable, but it's difficult to type on a remote control, so social media is almost read only, which sort of defeats the point. This just leaves News and streaming.

Both of which my own Samsung 2011 TV does well, but how many streaming apps do you need? Not enough to justify an App store, I'd wager.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I remember Cindy Rose talking that Virgin had the contract for the Opera-based Apps.... it never happend though as she left....

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Well thats Sky Q then, but the rest is what i said

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I'm hoping the apps "era" as far as tv goes will die a quick death soon.

I use three main ones: Plex (may it live forever), Netflix and Amazon.

There is the former Blinkbox (now TalkTalk) and Wuaki film/tv apps which are the main competition to Netflix and Amazon.

There's a few others like Curzon (films), Popcorn (old films), Digital theatre and the trailers app Cinetrailer and that's about all I look at on my tv beyond Iplayer/ITV/4/5 apps which I have to use as tivo is so slow and useless.

All VM need to do (hasn't happened yet in the history of cable tv..) is have a fast interface where you can access everything through one set of screens/menus/icons without having to go into separate apps. Surely it can't be that hard...?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Are you talking about the new STB? Is there a confirmed price for this?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Well it's now £149 for the sky box but that is the rumoured price

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Yes.
No, so it's a bit pointless criticising or praising the pricing until it's confirmed by VM. And this will probably be four months away, possibly even more.

"Our new V6 box lets you access Netflix (if you're subscribed) and YouTube in mesmerisingly clear 4K Ultra HD*"

Anyone think this wording is a bit strange? My 4k smart tv can do the same (as would most), so what's the point? I am guessing that it will be released with no other 4k content available!
Lets hope that they can put bt's UHD channel on there. If not, off to sky Q silver I go.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

It would be a bad launch if the only 4K is netflix and you need to pay £8.99 a month for 4K, YouTube and one sports channel that would be bad

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

When the Tivo first was available I paid £99 pounds to get it asap i remember a few weeks 2 months tops later I got my money back (as take up was terrible) and removed the fee and said it was unfair for me to pay for the box.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

TalkTalk?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I'm moving to Sky. Even if it costs more I would rather have a reliable service that works, although the introductory discount is very nice, especially with all the extra channels. I quit VM recently (after 15 years of constant suffering) after all the other faults and Tivo bugs. They kept calling me back making better offers begging me to return before I got around to signed up with Sky. Eventually I agreed to a discount appropriate to the poor level of service. Now they send me a letter saying they are putting the negotiated price up, after IMO an awful update with buggy series links that is a backwards step and further annoying customers by removing established useful features like the blue button forcing long-winded workarounds that are a significant compromise and not addressing chronic performance issues. I'm very pleased for those of you who think it is good enough and hope you are happy to invest in the 2017 box but I am finally joining the leaders as all my friends have already done and have been encouraging me to do for years, especially when they come around and laugh watching spinning circles and blank screens waiting for menus and programs to start, not to mention the lack of accurate recordings and PCM audio through my expensive sound system for the past year :D I hope you don't get to point I got to where you decide enough is enough with 3 price hikes in a year and a service that started off bad and is not getting any better.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Not sure why you're saying broadband is too cheap because in my opinion it's about right with most providers.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

:D Now I'm getting constant C501 errors. Haven't had that for a while. Can't even clear down any more recordings before it goes in the box... And now it has rebooted itself. And yes, I have had plenty of "engineer visits" over the years telling me "yep, thats normal mate. yep they do that mate.", before someone says "there must be something wrong with your box" :mad:

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I have this problem too, thought it was just my tivo being crap again. I'm in the teeside area and noticed another poster in teeside said their tivo was ok, so I wonder if it's just selective people.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

We would have to compare the price to other countries and add broadband costs onto line rental get a fair opinion. I think the people who don't get a good deal are those on ADSL lines with slow speeds in the countryside. I think the UK is comnpetitive with most countries; apparently France is the cheapest Western European country with apartment deals (one provider covers an apartment block with wifi) coming in at really great prices.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Yeah now when you factor in line rental it can become expensive. It's time line rental was scrapped or at least reduced to a more realistic price. I know you can get broadband without a phone line from virgin but st a higher cost (not sure how much more). Also seen an advert for vodaphone broadband without a phone line but no idea what that costs but I'll bet it's not cheap?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

That's not going to happen. Post-Brexit voite, Theresa May does not want companies so tightly regulated. Vodafone's prices do look competitive, scroll down this page to view its comparisons, https://www.vodafone.co.uk/broadband

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Vodafone's BB offer still actually includes a phone line, its if you take Fibre they absorb the cost of the rental. You can still use the line as normal. £22 for ADSL inc rental or Fibre up to 38Mbps @ £22 for existing or £25 for non existing customers. Or £28 for Up to 76Mbps.

They are also launching a TV service soon. So will have proper quadplay on a single bill!

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

In one sense that's about to happen as new advertising rules kick-in in November which say that broadband providers must show one clear price including the line rental. Of course the cost of the line rental will still be there, but it should be easier to compare packages across multiple providers.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

You poor soul! I've never had any real issues with Virgin, and imo they provide a very good service indeed, ok, you get the odd problem with VOD, but, on the whole i find their service really good, especially the BB.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Lots of complaints on the "community" page and other forums. Seems to be nationwide although evidently not everyone if you are not getting it. Now been updated to not be fixed before tomorrow AFTERNOON. Tivo is practically unusable, cannot access most screens including myshows and planned recordings. VOD never really worked in my area.

I found more and more bugs with Series Links+. I had recordings fail due to conflicts with programs which were not even scheduled to record because the conflicts were "NOT NEW". I will add that their might be other criteria involved as I know some people will say "well it works fine for me". That is just one small example. I just think it is a shame VM were not prepared to listen to feedback and provide a proper help desk for bugs. The community forum COULD have been a good resource for them but by their own admission the TV business was neglected for too long. I cannot see the new box being any better, hence why I'm out.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I have to agree that it's been one thing after another with the TiVo since I got it last March.

Just before this the engineer who came to replace my V+ box actually advised me to wait until the new TiVo box came out after I told him I was thinking of upgrading!!!

I wish I'd have listened to him.

I was going to try to get out of my contract under the "not fit for purpose" rule, but things have been made easier with the forthcoming November price rise.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

It is for for purpose. Its just not brilliant at its job.

When TiVo first came out on VM it went through a huge test and trial phase for well over a year. Alpha then beta and then expanded trials.

With the alpha and beta there was weekly software drops and occasionally more than once a week. It was very thorough.

I know as I was part of it all when I worked for VM. Am sure this new box will have had the same done.

I've never really had an issue with my TiVo being slow or unresponsive. I am not waiting for the new box though. The price rises had made me leave and Sky Q and Sky fibre and getting installed next month.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

So.... I just got off the phone with VM customer service as I was enquiring about canceling the TV portion of my bundle. The CS representative said the new box was coming "in a month or two". When I challenged her that I had heard (from here, admittedly) that it wasn't coming until late this year or early next year, she said that they are being told internally that it's coming in the next month or two.

She also said it is a vast improvement on the existing TiVo... she is currently using the new one and previously had the TiVo.

Still isn't convincing me to retain my contact though... after I have done my sums I can retain VM BB and Phone and get Sky Q 2TB box with 1 mini box, their Box Set Bundle and multiroom for £20 more per month than I am currently paying VM. I will lose Sky Cinema for that price though but I am not too bothered about that. Plus there will be a one off £60 installation charge.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I spoke to our solicitor about trying to get out of my contract under the 'Not fit for purpose' rule.

He said that as it works, but does it badly, that any case could go either way and to use the price rise instead if I could to break my contract.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

You (and I :):):):):)) are free to leave whenever they put the price up. i.e. now and all the other times they put the prices up in a typical year.

In whats ways? ("vast improvement") Isn't it supposed to be the same software we just got except maybe without the go slow switch? They said this latest update was supposed to be a major improvement too.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Funnily enough my broadband has been ok for a couple of weeks but I am in the process of determining whether to just get rid of VM Tv or the whole thing and today my Broadband has been up and down. Routers leds all fine but most webpages not loading. Just phoned in and told its an area fault and I might have no internet or very low speeds for another few weeks whilst they "work on it". Nothing showing on service status pages. Guess that makes the decision for me! Think he said something about 400 customers going through a cabinet designed for 120 but not sure if he was talking theoretical!

---------- Post added at 20:00 ---------- Previous post was at 19:47 ----------

Just out of curiosity on the Tivo Diagnostics screen, since the last update, there are 4 entries for AGC Signal Level. The first is currently 79% but the 3 others are all showing 0%. Is this normal? Also before the update I was getting lots of RS Uncorrected errors on certain channels but always zero RS Corrected. (Yes I have definitely got this the right way around, even though it seems to me like it should be the other way around). Since the update both (sets of) numbers are always 0. Any reasons for this?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I'm not sure.. she didn't go into details, I'm afraid...and I didn't really push her to be honest! Guess we'll have to wait and see... if I haven't defected back to Sky by then.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I'd say that really is area dependant , when I was last with VM my then 30mb connection was usually around 1-2mb during peak I also have family who live near that left for the exact same reason. In all my years of being on ADSL/VDSL I can count on one hand the amount of days it was down sadly the same can't be said for my shorter time with VM.

When it's working and you are in an area that has little or no oversubscription I agree it can't be beat.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

My only guess would be it is another US version being modded for the UK market.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Hopefully, six tuners without the interruption of the seventh for recordings sounds good.

It means less clashes & time shifting- let's hope it actually works properly this time

When TiVo first came in, they let people put their old V+ elsewhere in the home for no extra cost.

I'm wondering if they'll be doing the same thing when the new TiVo comes out ie putting the old slow one in, say, a bedroom?

People might be able to put up with it for the odd time, or, as you can get TiVos to talk to each other, would a slow TiVo accessing the recordings of a new TiVo actually become faster?? :confused:

I think that six tuners would be more than enough on most occasions.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Well we certainly could do with the extra tuners in our household though.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Sky Q Silver (5 tuners) , 4 recordable and 1 for Live TV.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Thanks for getting back to me.

If it is indeed correct that the new box will have 6 tuners, it looks like VM may have waited to see what the new Sky box was like before trying to trump it.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Absolutely I'm sure those who record tons will welcome the higher number of tuners , I wonder how multi room will work ?

Will it be the same as now with every box needing a separate coaxial connection or will it use the homes network like Sky Q ?

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Would just mean twice as many duplicates for me and no chance of going away for 2 weeks without it deleting everything I want to watch to make space for things I don't.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

Anybody know if it plans to have the ability to watch your recordings through the app?

IMO VM missed a trick not getting Slingbox on board to provide Slingbox functionality to its boxes, that feature alone would have been a major win for VM and a major blow to Sky.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
 

I don't think it will trump Q. The mini boxes don't need their own feed. They all connect by WiFi to the main box where the recordings are stored. You can also stream to two tablet in the house at the same time. Plus if you have sky BB then all boxes act as WiFi extenders.

You can transfer recordings to tablets as well.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
