To continue the saga, I was without Film 4 HD until the Tivo box was updated last week - that brought it back for a whole day.

I had 2 separate engineer visits yesterday. The first swapped the box to no avail. The second swapped it for a confirmed working box which worked. He then put my new box back and it worked so he left. This box worked for the rest of yesterday but would not today.

This evening I sat down to watch Frozen Planet which I had recorded last Wednesday only to realise that it was on my old box. Never mind I thought, I'll watch it on Catch Up. I found the programme in HD and started to view it only to find it was unwatchable. The picture kept freezing and buffering.

I ended up watching it on my Mac which is plugged into my TV. The 6Mb O2 broadband easily coped with the HD feed.

I've got VM broadband being installed next week - am I making a big mistake?

PS. Film 4 HD was great on the V+ box I had last year.
