Tivo advice please
 
I have got Tivo booked for next wednesday but i am so confused by the whole thing:)

I know the EPG is better but what other things can it do?

I have looked at Virgins website but it does not really tell me much.

Also what things can i connect to it as i have my sound going into my home cinema kit via optical input so does it have that input on it?

Surely you should find this out before ordering?

There's an optical out that will feed into your AV amp and give 5.1 audio.

I don't know where I got them off the top of my head, but I pulled two different pdf files from the internet (may have been mediaboys blog) with the full TiVo manuals - one the manual and one a quick start. they have a TON of info in them. If you do a google search you should find them, or perhaps someone here may know the links.

Where is the online forum that she refers to in this section about third party apps?

In the States, TiVo Premiere also offers third-party entertainment services from Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI), Netflix (NSDQ: NFLX), Pandora, Rhapsody, MusicChoice, Live365 and more. So could Virgin’s Brit TiVo offer equivalents like Lovefilm and Spotify?

“We’re talking to everybody - all those that you named and more,” says Rose. “We’re very open to all of them. It’s just a question of doing the right deal, making sure our customers actually want it - power to the people; we’re a Virgin company. We’ve got an online forum we’re moderating to ask what they want.”

There is a private TiVo forum on the VM community forums, you need to have a TiVo to get in.

How do they know if you've got a TiVo? Is there some secret password handed over by the installer along with the url of this forum?

No I think you apply with your account number once you are installed and then your given access, not positive as I haven't got one yet.

That forum should be open to all now. It was only private during the pre-release stage.
