My TiVo arrived on Tuesday - I have to say I'm very impressed!!
I'm a series 1 owner and am used to the "thumbing" habit, so far it has only recorded suggestions that I like
The SD picture quality on my Sony 40 inch LCD is very good; as good as the V+ box I had. HD pictures are fantastic!!
The engineers was an interesting chap. He advised that the normal installers were not trained to install TiVo yet - he said that he was a technician that usually specialises in finding network faults. He said the only Virgin staff trained and currently installing TiVo were technicians like him.
He also advised that 500,000 people had pre-registered.... when I questioned him saying surely he meant 50,000 people he was definite on the 1/2 million (still does not sound right to me, whenever I mention TiVo to anyone they always say "What?")
If he is right about the numbers that will be an awful long wait for everyone that's pre-registered especially when you consider the usual installation guys have not been trained yet.
I hope he was wrong for the sake of all those on this forum still waiting.
For what it's worth - I pre registered and also told them I am S1 Tivo owner (which I am!!), but they did no checks to verify this and the engineer did not ask to see my old TiVo.... I'm not going to suggest those still waiting to tell Virgin you have a series 1 TiVo but......
