If you do a Series Link for F1, F2, MotoGP, etc. it records every single practice session, qualifying and race. I don't watch all of them so I delete the ones I don't want to watch. Later on I may hear of an incident that happened in one of those sessions so I temporarily undelete them to see.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me:)

That's what I was trying to get at but you worded it better

Do you realise that it has always been that way? Multiplex licences have always been for a fixed period. What actually happens after that is decided in the later years of the contract.

Yes, I’m well aware of that, as I am with the bigger picture.

What bigger picture? You are wanting everyone to have big blank screens!

Presumably the bigger picture would be the total lack of strategic planning by the previous government. Hopefully we can now move on to better things.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 
I had to get my own brand new contract to get a £49.00 pm deal, as my late dad was paying £149 pm, we had 1 V6 and 2 TiVos & as SH3.


Setting up was easy once I realised I was in the wrong mode in my SH5, then all my other kit just worked fine.


I have a large TiVo 360 and a Smaller TiVo 360.


Am I right in thinking that the large box has all the recording on it only.


When is the best time to call VM CS and speak to a UK based CS bod, ad I need them to transfer the emails I had on my dads account to mine, the CS person I spoke to when I started the new account said that it would be ok.


Secondly when I went to set up my VM access the verify email bit failed and I get a 403 Forbidden error message.

The recordings are stored on the large box but you should be able to use the menu on the mini to access recordings, set new programmes to record, etc. as long as both are on with network access.

The 360 doesn't have Wishlists, Suggestions or QuickView.

Or the ability to undelete, or pause for more than a few seconds or record on the minibox, so half the recording space gone....

VM have their own definition of the word 'upgrade'.... Maybe they mean it's upgrading their profits as they don't have to pay for the Tivo licence on the 360?

Exactly, just as they call Maxit to Mega an upgrade where the only difference is that you lose all the TNT Sports channels and the ability to FF through the ads on ITVX.

Didn't know that it also doesn't pause properly or have undelete, I use these functions a lot.

Is the first minibox included or do you have to pay anything for it?

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 
I have paused up to four minutes on the mini box. I just hit record if I know I will be longer. Mini box is an additional cost though many packages will have one included ( I'm paying less than before when I only had a V6.

Re: TV360 - pro and cons
 
I guess quite a lot of legacy customers will still have multiple boxes with their own hard drives given there is an upgrade path, and they will function independently with recording to their own storage (accessible from others). So no loss of storage on that front.

Obviously new customers will lose out, but they won't know any better for the most part and have probably come from Sky Q which has a very similar arrangement.

The lack of 'undelete' still seems a rather glaring omission, but it might as well be missing on Sky Q because it's a sod to find in the menu!
