BSkyB add an extra hour to TNA PPV's on Challenge.

TNA Against All Odds is on Challenge for FOUR HOURS from 10pm on Wednesday night and will end at 2am (not 1am as listed on Virgin Media's EPG).

Agree Mr S I do think the TIVO to pre reg customers is a bit of a farce.

Yup, was told by 2 staff in CEO office via email and phone that this still Beta roll out and that they dont have confirmed date for launch but ATM its "late March" obviously more contadicting info.

Also just been told ESPN Classic on demand launch today hit a tech problem that they are looking into at the moment :(

Pretty much what I got told by CEO office , they told me 20000 had pre registered and they were rolling out to 5000 and if all went to plan the next batch would be end of March , so I can't see it being open to new customers in April.

Is this effective on Virgin Media though?

As the Genesis PPV was changed on the Sky guide from 10pm-2am but it didnt change on Virgin Media.

Depends if Liberate bother correcting it. My 2 hour WWE Raw recordings are often half wresting, half fishing.

My main gripe with TIVO is why ask you to register your email address if your interested in taking it , has anyone had any TIVO updates in 3 months because I haven't . It would have made sense to keep customers up to date like 1000 lucky customers randomly picked , we are in BETA stage we hope to launch in the coming months but nothing.

I have to admit that it has not been the best idea, but what do you want them to do offer it to all the customers at the same time and then say " sorry you will have it installed in 2/3 months due to the high demand".

I know that I can be critical of VM but have to say is the old saying "You can't please everyone".

An occasional email update would have worked. They could have also told people of its many features at the same time.

I totally agree they have said nothing and nothing seems to be forthcoming, atrocious communication in my mind and theres no getting away from that.
