In my post #72 above, the quote did not come out for some reason. My extract from the article should have read:

A key factor that makes Cloud DVRs easy to deploy is that the operator can store a single copy of each show and stream it to all subscribers who recorded the show. This saves a lot on storage costs and resources of the service provider.

The italicised part of the post #72 were, in fact, my own words.

I apologise for any confusion.

Handy hint - to quote from an article, place the text you want to quote in between the "begin quote" and "end quote" commands (see attachments).

Thanks, Hugh.

Re: TV360
 

It's more a case of common sense. I can't prove that the moon isn't made of cheese, but I shouldn't really be being asked to do so.

You have yout belief about how it's done and others have theirs. We're not going to agree and are now going round in circles, so let's leave it there so that what the 360 can/can't & does/doesn't contemporarily do can be discussed.

Re: TV360
 

I have not stated any belief on what will happen. I've just pointed out the fantastical musings put out as facts . All without ignorant. " row your neck back in, old chap." comments

Re: TV360
 

I have never said anything like that.

Re: TV360
 

Ah it was the other one Oldboy.

Re: TV360
 

That was me, and I was correct in what I said. You are questioning what I said without providing evidence to the contrary. I provided you with one of the links that supports what I wrote.

Re: TV360
 

So you were asking me to provide evidence to disprove what you were stating as fact when at that stage you had not posted any links?
Then you come up with an opinion piece. Nice.
Anyway I'll believe the link to an actual cable company over a commentary piece.

Re: TV360
 

I didn't post a link until you challenged me. I am simply pointing out that I have provided you with evidence of what 'recording to the cloud' means.

If you disagree, fine, but without back up of your own, your argument falls a bit flat.

Re: TV360
 

I am amazed at the adverse posts outlining problems which I am not aware of.
In conclusion, I would highly emphasise that my experience with TV360 has been superb and unblemished.

TV360 does everything I need to absolute perfection - high quality vision, superb program guidance, navigation and guidance, perfect recording of individual programs or series and the voice control is fantastic.
I would highly recommend TV360.

It is due to this amazing technology by Virgin that I am able to record that unmissable "must see" mega-series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians"

It's horses for courses. Whilst the majority of experiences that i've read about it have been negative (with some customers changing back to the V6, despite being initially told that this wasnt possible. This is the reason why I think that they will eventually want everyone to have the 360) If it does everything that you require, that's a good thing.and i'm pleased that you're happy with it.

For me personally, the loss of TiVo features eg QuickView etc outweighs the only benefit to me which is voice control, though your post is so pver the top that it looks like one of those paid for fake reviews you see on places like Amazon!

There's no reason to doubt either opinion.

Re: TV360
 

The reason I suspect they want everyone on Horizon software is so they don't have to pay any license fees to TiVo anymore.

Re: TV360
 

ISTR Virgin buying part of the TiVo company. I remember thinking that they'd done that to save on paying the licence fees. Can anyone remember what it was that they bought (or maybe it's a false nemory)?
