Virgin admit that TiVO "works well with most TV's"! Most? Why not all?

Anyone else experienced similar problems please!
The box does take about 7 or 8 minutes to warm up - are you waiting long enough? What happens when it fails, or does it just continue to display the message '...Just a few more minutes'?

If you cannot get it to work, you will need an engineer to sort it out, I think. If you phone them now, you might just be able to get one booked for the weekend.
