I have an install date booked for 15th Feb. I am an ex Series 1 TiVo user and registered in the appropriate places. I asked if I was being offered TiVo because I was a TiVo user but the salesman said he didn't know anything about that. It was just because I'd registered on their website. However, it seems that most people who are being offered TiVo are also Series 1 Users. In fact people who are not in cabled areas are being offered TiVo. Although it's not possible for them to have TiVo in a non cabled area.

With regard to TiVo not doing much with the cable system. I used my TiVo with a Telewest Active Digital box for years and it worked very well indeed. The cable box became just a tuner for my TiVo box and even though TiVo was effecively a single tuner PVR, we missed very few programmes due to clashes as TiVo would pick up repeats. The only reason I moved away from TiVo was that it couldn't do HD. I really, really missed it but the upgrade to HD was quite significant. However, I'm now very happy indeed as I'll have TiVo again and HD.
