Just say to VM that you would rather keep your box, and they should give you the Tivo free as a sweetner. But the Tivo is far better anyway.

Maybe a member of VM staff could tell us what is happening.

Haven't the broadcasters been supplying the data for years? Remember Video Plus?

On DTT and Satellite the broadcaster updates the EPG by sending the data themselves out on the fly, been doing this since around 1998.
Also the send out a programme is about to start flag and a programme has ended flag. So Satellite boxes and Freeview boxes hold off recording until a second or 2 before the programme actually starts and then stops recording at the end of the programme.
However not all providers update their EPG on playout like the main providers do.
