I'm in Tilbury (area 06) and my Tivo just rebooted right in the middle of an interesting documentary on C4 about the Willy Wonka musical. Hope it's for the update tonight.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix

Am in Area 31 and currently mine is not :-( Fingers crossed though!

Also in area 31. Have Netflix. Coventry CV3.

Tried it out.

Watched part of Cowboys and Aliens in Super HD, it said. All very smooth. Definition excellent.

The app loaded up slowly at first but after logging in and trying again it had sped up. Navigation pretty is quick too.

I had no idea the billing areas were different to the "headends", which I have heard others posting about. Shamefully, I do not know quite what a "headend" is, I guess it helps send the signal on from VM HQ. I am not even sure where my "headend" is, I would guess Cambridge. I have had to check the app menu daily to see if I had the update. :(

Is there anyone who can help me feel less ignorant....please....

Oh, I am in the PE27 post code area.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix

I'm getting tired of saying this now all areas will be updated by end of the week , please stop asking.
I'm more than happy to help but i'm going grey as it is without the same question getting asked time and time again :p:

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix

updating in area 06 now ,southend

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix

Whats the best number to call to get hold of retentions to take up the Netflix offer?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix

I think I read somewhere that some people are having to reboot their Tivo and the app should appear

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix

Still no update in Newcastle :(

I'm hoping this is accurate and up-to-date.

This explanation might help you. Just like BT, VM is a hybrid system, not pure fibre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_fibre-coaxial
