Seeing as we are currently seeing a lot of problems coming to the surface maybe we should try to resolve these issues before we get carried away on a fit of enthusiasm and before all the lovers of all things VM go off on one read the various forums. A lot of folks are not best pleased that their experience does not live up to that promised.
I seem to be quite lucky in that my gripes are quite small and will hopefully be addressed in time but there seems to be quite a significant number of quite unhappy folk out there. I wonder if this has anything to do with VM not bringing this box to mass market yet?
While I'm on a rant, and without being gender specific, it seems that the non techie person in the households are struggling to come to terms with the complexity of the TiVo. How many posts have we seen comments that the significant other just wants the V+ back? |
Whilst I see your point, surely it's only a matter of time before VM & TiVo get these little niggles ironed out?
VM are definately promoting TiVo on their site now, it's pretty much taking centre stage when you click on the 'TV, BB & Phone' tab from virginmedia.com
As for people wanting the V+ box back, I'm sure this was the case when people originally moved to sky+ from VCRs. It just takes time to adjust and see the benefits, once that happens I can't see many people wanting to stay with the 'basic' V+.
Also with talk of the V-HD box getting the TiVo software on board along with the leaks about sharing content between all TiVo boxes in your house, I don't see why this is out of the realms of possibility!

I'd love that sort of functionality & wouldn't think twice about getting a TiVo box to replace the bedroom V+ if it meant a combined storage of either 1.5tb or even 2tb!!
