Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

Just had my V6 installed, upstairs as a de-facto second box. Engineer arrived and asked why I wanted it there and not in place of the Tivo. I explained that the hub was near the Tivo so I could Ethernet connect it, in order to link the boxes together, and he looked at me blankly. Wasn't aware that the boxes were networkable, didn't know that as long as they were both connected to the network I could watch Tivo content on the V6 and vice versa. Phoned his supervisor to ask, he'd no idea either. Plugged it all in, connected to wifi and having looked in the manual he'd given me I navigated to the bottom of "My shows" and there's the downstairs Tivo showing. "Well, you've taught me something there" he says. Nice fella and everything, he'd undergone installation training but they'd obviously not told him why it needs to be connected to the network (other than to download the TiVo programme info, which is what he told me).
