I can't find the specific model in Logitech's database but does it work fine with the codes for V+HD or the US TiVo box?

I set my Harmony 555 up not long after install, gave me something to do while the EPG was updating as it takes a couple of hours to do this after it is first turned on.

If you select Cable box as the device type, Virginmedia as the Make and TiVo as the model it should find it.

However, I still had to teach it some buttons, about 8 or so if I remember correctly. Took me a little while to get it spot on but that was mainly due to the fact I hadn't had to use the Harmony software for over a year.
There may be an easier way to do it but if I honest I just wanted to get it done and check the box out

It works well as you would expect from a Harmony remote. My only annoyance is that the 555 model doesn't handle quick button presses on the arrow pad very well which wasn't a problem on my old SA V+ because that was slow anyway but TiVo is lightning quick and the Harmony slows it down a touch. But that is a hardware issue, another model might be OK
