Just switched mine on and found that I couldn't even get into my recordings.

Did a reboot, that fixed it (albeit very slow) and now we have "No network availability C130).

I now think that the problem is so serious that VM need to seriously think about promising all TiVo customers with a new box at no charge.

This is the only way that I can see them salvaging not only their TV business, but possibly their whole business as many will be moving from one triple provider to another.

It's easier and more cost effective, so they may end up losing BB, TV and phone customers because of this.

Cable TV has always been the poor relation, it's only my dislike of Sky that has been the main reason for my loyalty, but there are much more cost effective choices now.
