Re: TiVo
I am using blue because this is the most astonishing matter I have ever read on a Forum.

I'll send you a white logo one to try when I'm back in the office on Tuesday. Just to confirm I've found the right account, is the second half of your postcode 2UL?
(I work in TV product development at VM, by the way)

Well Spiderplant did what he said and I received the WHITE logo remote on 18 March morning.
Even the batteries are different from the black logo set and the contained code set certainly must be - see under.
I immediately did an 0999 search for codes and within a short time it found a successful code that synchronised the volume of my TV to the TiVo remote. One press of OK and it all now works perfect, no more TWO remotes to juggle with !
So the unbelievably kind, dedicated and intelligent Spiderplant has solved a problem that Virgin from the CEO to the engineers (I had two of then call) down had no clue whatsoever how to solve.
I have Emailed Virgin CEO and told him the whole pathetic story of how a mammoth organisation like Virgin did not know the answer to remote volume synchronisation, when an ordinary employee of theirs did
My gratitude to Spiderplant does not have words in the English language to express it. But all I can say is a BIG THANK YOU to the most wonderful guy I have ever had the honour to meet, albeit on a Forum.
