I can't explain how excited I am for this Tivo box, for years now I've heard people say how awesome the interface is in comparison to Virgin & Skys EPG offerings. Now if only VM had an option to register my interest......

I wouldnt mind one but hope Virgin don't release it only in a certain area that really sucks.

VM have already said it will be done that way. It will be the last phase of testing.

So VM happily state "Our new TiVo® box will be HD and 3D ready, allowing you to get closer to the action". Followed immediately by "It's got a massive 1TB of personal storage – that means you can save up to 500 hours of your favourite programmes"

I think they may be pulling a "marketing fast one" here. By not sating all the facts, they would like you to believe that you can store 500 hours of HD or 3D content on a 1TB HDD - clearly there is some amazing magic in the VM version of the Tivo system to achieve this.;)

Tivo's own information states 150 hours of HD or 1350 SD on a 1TB disc.

Where lies the truth I wonder?

Can I be first to say "Can I put a larger HDD in my VM Tivo box"?

1 terabyte will certainly be enough storage for me and most other people forever now (especially if Virgin switch from MPEG2 to MPEG4 which means they'll take up less space on the disk) for the current HD standard, unless somehow my viewing habits dramatically change or we switch to SuperHiVisionDef3DXtraMax, which by then we'll have another new box (hopefully).

The inclusion of web content/YouTube would point to there being a hardware h264 decoder in that box and I wonder if that will mean a move away from MPEG2 to H264/AVC is on the cards (finally). If so then program space estimates on that hard drive might not be as far off as they first look.

Hi and :welcome: :wavey:

Yeah I've seen that before. I've seen a ticket raised for it too, but it was a while back.

I'll get it looked at again when I'm in the office next. :tu:

EDIT: replicated here at home too... no EPG data between 8:30am - 9am weekdays. same on 855
