Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Had a V6 installed and my old TiVo moved to a bedroom yesterday. I must say I'm very impressed with the speed, such a difference compared to the original.
Both are networked via ethernet and multi room streaming works flawlessly.
There were some hiccups however;
Apparently activations were down yesterday so the engineer had to leave without a fully working V6, only had the first 5 channels, felt like I was in the 90s again. He was only there an hour as the cabling was already in place and I could hardly force him to stay until it was working. He left at 4.30pm and the V6 was finally fully operational at 8.30pm.
Next issue was the menu graphics looked horrible, really blocky but legible. Checked video output settings and only 576i was selected with all the other resolutions saying not supported. Auto detect didn't work and a reboot didn't either. I tried manual test where it flicks through each resolution and you need to press thumbs up if you can see a picture. After this all options were available and sorted out the problem.
I tested iPlayer, lightning quick and finally usable. I also tested you tube by casting a video from my phone and I got no picture but did get sound. Didn't get a chance to look into this properly so was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem?
All in all, a great piece of kit. Well done VM
