So VM users do you think Tivo will get people to leave Sky and join VirginMedia?

My view? Well I'm glad you asked.

I have had Skytv for many many years and have always been happy with my service. I had a Sky Tivo and a S1 Tivo which I thought were fantastic but stopped using along time ago.

When I heard VM were bringing a new Tivo I decided I wanted to be part of it so joined VM. Unfortunately this didnt work how I had planned. VM want over £100 plus a subscription fee for Tivo.

Ok the price may of been ok 10 years ago but its 2011 and Tivo is just not pushing any boundries. What has changed since I stopped using Tivo many years ago? Nothing? Oh the EPG is now red. Thats not enough.

I think and this is not "fanboyisim" or anything like that, that Sky users who join VM for Tivo will be gone back to Sky first chance they get. VM Should really listen to what I'm saying.

I find it hard to believe in 10 years Tivo have stood still in development but thats how it seems. New users in 2011 will not be impressed with the current Tivo offering the way we were in 10 years ago.

Don't turn this thread into a personal attack on me. Read it, give it thought, then reply.
