Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

And Hertfordshire? Will it launch so I can play around on Wednesday, or will it launch on a working day for me?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Hertfordshire is scheduled for completion March 2014.



Just kidding :p: it should be done by end of this week.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

What about Maidstone ( uses Basildon head end I think )

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

By the end of the week for all areas.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Hi I am in the Solent area (Cosham), my box is now updating, went into menu, setting, network bit, then after restarted box

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Hi! First time poster on here!

I'm in Gosport and my box is updating too. It's been stuck on the "Updating your box... Do no turn off or switch off the power" for about 15 mins now.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

It can take upto an hour to do the update from what i have seen posted on here

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Sounds like I've got another half an hour to go then.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

same here

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Mines updated, but no sign of Netflix.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Have you looked under apps, mine is still updating

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

My box has just started update about 10 min ago (uddingston area) :)

no sign of netflix in apps :(


Update

done a soft reboot and hey presto netflix appeared :)

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Got the update in ipswich. Had to go through the network tests and reconnections to get Netflix. Still it worked in the end after rebooting about 6 times which didn't do anything for me.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Stafford has been updated but will have to have a play with it later

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Nothing here yet again and my bet of who comes last is looking good.:D

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Areas updated today:

Bromley
Colchester
Falkirk
Kirklees
Lichfield (Stafford)
Oxford
Portsmouth
Stoke
Uddingston
Watford
Wolverhampton
York

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Likewise :D

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Excellent, here's hoping Herts gets done tonight/tomorrow morning so I can have a play around once I get back in from an appointment.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

45/61 done?

Another 2 nights and they will be done.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Ooooh! I think I'm Bromley! We're about to put the run into school run!

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Wolverhampton up and running

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

What did I say! Second to last or last to get an update EVERYTIME. Haha I'm not that bitter but literally this happens for each update. Virgin hate my headend...

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Hi

Its here in the Black Country and apart from being a bit slow its perfect.

Well done Virgin

billc

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Can confirm Ipswich was done around 5 am!

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

So apparently I'm not Bromley ��

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Anyone else's Netflix not running at Super HD straight away? Mine seems to stick with 480SD until it manages to buffer Super HD

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

That's how Netflix is designed to work.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Is everybody supposed to get the Netflix app even those with just Freeview channels?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

It's designed that way so that you get the picture straight away; it should gradually ramp up to the highest bitrate for the title.

It's caled 'variable bit rate streaming' (or something like that).

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Least you have something to look forward to bud !!!

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Yes, everyone with TiVo gets the Netflix app on it

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

It's always run at Super HD straight away on my LG TV, that's why I was asking, this seems to take a good minute or so to build up. It's pretty useless for shows like Breaking Bad where even the first few frames are meant to be visually stunning!

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Ah I had restarted Tivo from the menu but no Netflix, it took a hard reboot for it to appear.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Hi all, just a quick question, is their a shortcut to get to the netfix app, without having to do seven button presses

Thanks

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

You can add it as a favourite app, which'll put it in the top menu item under Apps & Games.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Yeah done that and still not there. So giving it another reboot to see if that works!

---------- Post added at 11:15 ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 ----------

Got it now!!! :D:D:D

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

^^^ OK that's great for new customers but do we get it as well, if so how ?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Agree to stay with VM for another 12 months

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Toady, Yes you do BUT you need one of the 2 packages and take out a new 12 contract

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Can confirm got it here in Telford after a reboot at 4am.
No Netflix app yet on mine, but I'm guessing a second reboot will bring it.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Thanks Ben, but thats still 7 button presses, or am i just being lazy :)

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I have no problem doing this ... no plans to move anyway, but I am on XL, so assume that this is the premiere package ?

There appears to be no way of taking up the offer via "my Virginmedia" - so how do I go about it ?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I was told I'd loose one of my loyalty discounts for wanting the 6 months free Netflix, so just stuck with the discount as worth more in long run.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Got update here in Wolves.

---------- Post added at 12:16 ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 ----------

Give retentions a ring they'll sort it for you , don't bother with CS as they prob won't know about Netflix yet.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I've just switched over to the premier collection and have a discount for 18 months, hmmmm....

What to do?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Thanks - will do so when I get home.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Ahhh bugger! I renewed my contract back in August. :doh:

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I have read that there are some devices that don't use VBR and the device buffers until it can start playing at full bitrate. Maybe your TV is one of those or just buffers fast?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

There's nothing to stop you re-contracting again.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

had it comfirmed by Rententions if u got any loyalty discount it that or netflix, also existing customers can get it no mention of new contract on fone to me. everyone should be done by thursday no later

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Well, to contradict you, I have just committed to Netflix for 6 months FOC, and the gent I spoke to said that anyone on a loyalty discount will not be eligible for this unless they agree to pay the same as others (which I suppose is reasonable)

He also confirmed the 12 month contract !

Difference of opinion here !!

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Just called up, 6 months free, no mention of a new contract. I'm on VIP 120 or whatever it's called this week.

Just waiting on the discount code coming through.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

So, three different people called in, and we all got a different response

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I already have Netflix account AND loyalty money off my bill so i guess i am stuck - also i have not got the update yet as i live in the last zone to get anything ever :D - will just keep everything as it is i think as i am happy with my contract.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Existing customers on Premier and VIP can get it by recontracting for 12 months

Those with a Customer Relations offer on top of VIP or Premier have to choose between keep their offer or getting the Netflix offer

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Thanks Ben - confirms what I was told

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Not really on topic to start comparing prices here is it? lol

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Remember having a second TiVo adds a extra £11 thus it stumps up the bill quite a bit ocav.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I know, strange how much prices vary with different discounts though isn't it.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Does anyone know how to clear the username and password of Netflix from Tivo ?

Found my kids on it all of last weekend, so I want to remove the auto login !

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

home > help and settings > system info > Netflix account information

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

You can PIN protect the app if it's easier via Parental Controls > Lock Apps & Games

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

pin protect would be better - thanks for the suggestions

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Did I dream that with this new update the Tivo is supposed to connect more frequently for listings?

Was this a dream or true?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

It'll connect every 4 hours now

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

It is certainly true on my TiVo. It updates every six hours now, rather than daily.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

If you have not so recently, giving VM a call will be your best bet. See if you can get a new contract and all the discounts being offered. If not, you are no worse off than before. :-)

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

That will be welcome. I find that the programme guide on my bedroom SA V+ is often more up to date than my living room TiVo.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I know, unfortunately the ability to record is much needed on both those TVs, for some reason though Ive still got Spotify Premium on my account after the free trial and im not being charged for it!

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

anyone got code yet

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Still waiting here....

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

It can take up to 5 days to get the email you know

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

is that working day ben or normal days

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Just says 5 days on the information I've seen

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

so weekend at latest

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I've rung Virgin Media to take up the free 6 months Netflix promo offer, I couldnt understand a word they were saying to me. The bloke i was put through to transfered me to someone else who said * So you got a problem with your tv * I said noooo, i wanna take up the free 6 months Netflix promo offer. He told me to go on the netflix website and sign up. dear me ...

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I've just had a very similar conversation with the overseas call centre!. I gave up, but just spoke to someone on cable forum, and they have confirmed that you will,lose your loyalty discount if you sign up to the netflix offer, so isn't worth losing my discount, so not going to bother.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I gave up too and said i'll call another time.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Ring again and go thru to retentions,I did but gonna pass lose far more of loyalty discount than the £5.99 for Netflix.me thinks this is vm way of trying to do away with loyalty discounts :(

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

http://store.virginmedia.com/digital...d/netflix.html

Here virgin have an offer for £25 for 6 months premier collection. Can i not sign a new contract using this offer and get the free netflix for 6 months too? I have that same package at the minute without the netflix offer and am paying £47

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Just rang myself, the lady I spoke to was unaware fo the deal. I did speak to someone Scottish, so that was a bonus.

I had "loyalty offers" as well as a few others on here. However, I saved more money by losing my "loyalty offer" than through keeping it.:erm::confused:

Lower monthly bills and 6 months free netflix, smashing!!:)

Just gotta wait for the e-mail with code. I was told the wait would be 5 working days, not just 5 days.

Probably a silly question but, does anyone know if I will be able to use a free trial whilst waiting for the code (provided I get the update before the code that is), or will they register the use of Netflix on my TIVO box thus stopping me using both deals?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Not that is for new customers joining VM

---------- Post added at 18:30 ---------- Previous post was at 18:28 ----------

Yeah I would have lost 12 months of £5 discount to get Netflix free.. free trials it is then.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Turned out I was paying VM for the privalige of a "loyalty" deal. Must check my account more often methinks.....

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

I didnt qualify for free 6 months netflix so was put thro to redemptions.
The also said i didnt qualify as an existing customer but gave me 18 months at a £5 discount for loyalty.
I did agree to a new 12 month contract.
No other changes.
Lot cheaper than 6 months free netflix.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Not sure - I know for existing Netflix customers the code just stops billing for six months, but don't know if you can apply it whilst in the standard free sign up

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Well done bud,it worked out better for me to keep my loyalty discount and just keep paying Netflix same way as I allways have ;)

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Cheers Ben, will probably just wait until I get the e-mail. No point risking losing the 6 months free. :-)

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 

My Tivo has just started rebooting so guess ME5 (Medway Kent) is getting the App
