Sorry, thought you meant live TV.

In addition, V6 needs a faster upload to provide download of recordings to TV Anywhere app, something not possible with TiVo's very poor upload on its 10Mb internet connection.
Indeed, as I had to explain to the installer of my V6!

He was under the impression that it had to be connected to my modem, so it's useful for potential V6 customers to be aware of this
