One other quicky has just come to mind. I know you can't create Series Links for programmes that are not currently in the Guide, and you can only assign a Series Link for one specific channel not for any channel. But can you change that defined channel later?
For example, when I try to set everything up again, if I find a 2010 "Doctor Who" repeat on BBC4, can I create a Series Link using that broadcast and then adjust it so in future it only looks for New Episodes on BBC1? Or switch a "Midsomer Murders" Series Link created on ITV3 over to fetch only New Episodes that are broadcast on ITV1. That would make restoring some of our historical Series Links a bit less painful than Virgin want to make it.
At the moment, our V6 has almost no recordings on it, so if an enforced switchover is coming relatively soon due to expiring licences, it would make sense to bite the bullet and do it when it's convenient for us rather than for Virgin.

Just be sure that you're happy to lose the extra functionality of tivo, as there's no way back.
I'm not so sure there will be an 'enforced switchover'. More likely they'll do what they have already, withdrawing certain channels. Currently Sky Atlantic and fast channels, neither of which bother me. The risk for VM is that they lose customers, thats why they are treading gently, and desperately to get the punters to 'opt in'. Anything 'enforced' might mean customers opt out of VM entirely.
