This person should have been told the following:

"If you are a pre-registered customer, you will get an email 11 April allowing you to order in advance of general release.

If you have not pre-registered, you can order from 18 April.

Sorry, you cannot order now."

Or if you are and you try and change you should get a warning saying it'll need to cancel a recording to change the channel

As if Sky would allow VM to do that. They don't even let VM show Sky content in TiVo's mini-window within the EPG.

How are they able to differentiate a TiVo box from the V+ though or is it something that they're instructing VM to do on their behalf (blocking the feed)?

The boxes are on slightly different platforms within VM. It's a contractual obligation put on Virgin Media from BSkyB.

They don't want any of their content shown in the quarter screen on TiVo.

Yes, the application needs to be rewritten for TiVo. Obviously there are far more non-TiVo boxes, so they are doing that one first.


There's no background copy, but you can play back a whole series without having to start each episode separately.

I hope TWC win, they've paid for the content already, as so has the customer, what he/she does with it after receiving the content is their business (excluding creating pirate copies of course).

Also in another thing that has got me stumped about the TIVO box is when we had the last code drop AE6 the HDMI was not working ( there was a picture and no sound )?
I thought that it may be the TV, But now we have had another code drop I thought that I would try the HDMI again and it is all working now.

So when they released the newest code drop could that have solved the problem of the HDMI handshake that people have been having problems with (answers on the back of a postcard):confused:

But main reason is they missed me and when they throw at yer all there channels at half price and free hd pack for 12 months,Couldnt say no

Must admit the sky box is like a robin reliant compared to my tivo lol

No offence but can't see how it's come back to bite them when Sky has more Sky+ subscribers worldwide than TIVO. Sky+ is used in the Uk and Sky Italia and I believe in other countries .

Broadband TV News understands that the link between the iPlayer and TiVo may be restored later in the year.

Doesn't sound like they will change it , however the full version is probably a better option. Sky want the beeb to pick up the cost to build them a personalised version to run on their STB , the way it reads is that the Beeb may build another version but at the platforms cost.

Who cares? This thread is about TiVo, not Sky+ :rolleyes:

Why are you constantly banging on about Sky on here? :confused:

VM only have bbc catchup on the V+ because the beeb control the look and feel of the epg.

VM arn't part of youview for the same reason as the beeb etc demand VM use the same look and feel epg and VM are going over to tivo epg which is not acceptable.

Sky only interested in youview because it now has decided to allow pay to view content where up till now Sky have attacked it.

Unless Sky can do a deal with the beeb etc to store content on computers in the phone exchange and to use their own anytime epg then no catchup will appear due to Sky having to pay BT for data usage and it would cost them a fortune.

Anyway with Sky having spent 6 months trying to roll out anytime+ and still not having it on all boxes how do they think that they could do catchup any other way.......:p:

Because he changed to Sky and is stuck with it for 12 months.:p:


No TiVo and lack of VOD, he has to try to justify his move or he might spend the night in tears........:D
