That's just some of the programmes I have on my V6s. I also have hundreds of hours of terrestrial only shows on my DVD rscorder, including Victoria (ITV, Mc Mafia (BBC One),
Vera (ITV), Hard Sun(BBC1), Lethal Weapon (ITV), Kiri (Channel 4), House of Saud (BBC2), Bancroft (ITV)... well, you get the picture.

Basically, there are a great many programmes to record and I don't understand why people struggle to find anything to watch. However, one thing I have been saying for a while now is that the quality and choice available on pay tv is diminishing. I was struck doing this list how much better the choice on the main terrestrials was on my DVD recorder. I only mentioned a few of these above, but the list is quite long!

It is precisely because I do get out that my programmes are piling up, but I hope to get to them all eventually!

Oh, have I mentioned my wishlists for Netflix, Amazon and Now TV yet...?

It depends what you record, but will be close to double for most of the HD channels.

That is very useful indeed, and an unexpected bonus!

Call the Midwife!? Standards OB ;)

As you may have guessed, that's for my wife!

Don't know about anyone else, but I thought the last season of Walking Dead was boring(except the last episode). Hoping it improves when it returns. That's a big list! by the way.

some of my friends complain that their TIVO fills up quickly because of the 'Suggestions' that it records. I simply have that option switched off on mine.

For someone who proclaims on a regular basis about how poor the Sky Entertainment channels are you do seem to record a fair bit off them OB.:D

Thanks for that. I know that I'd have to connect one to the back of the superhub, so do I assume from your reply that the other one connects to the back of the TIVO box or is it the back of the V6 box, bit clueless to be honest :confused:

To connect the TiVo to your home network, you would have one powerline at the Superhub and one at the TiVo.
Your V6 should already be connected to your home network.

Suggestions don't count towards your free recording space, so never 'fill up' the box.

If the phone rings in the middle of it, do you put it on a pregnant pause?:)

Ha ha! I do have a number of Sky One and Sky Living series, but my point is that there is not as much to record from those channels these days. When I compare these with the 'free' terrestrials, it does make one question the value for money.

The list of programmes I have on my DVD recorder (terrestrial channels only) are much better.

TIVo doesn’t have WiFi so that explains why it’s not working.
You’ll need to use powerlines.

The TiVo has an ethernet port, so if possible use a cable as it is a much better way of connecting the TiVo to the home network.
