It's looking as if we may have to pay 149 + 40 install fee.

Just to complicate things, there are rumours of a 500 gig tivo costing 49 + 40 install coming later. They are rumours, though. I think VM have said that eventually, there will be various versions of tivo boxes and over the next few years, all customes will be moved to a tivo type box.

Yes I specifically set all series links to "new and reruns" now. Point is I set this series link on Sunday and it didn't record the "new" episode on Monday. I thinks I already have it recorded when I don't.

Faulty EPG data or a bug I don't know. I had to manually set it to record the repeat later in the week.

Was it in your suggestions?

Very impressed with the install. Engineer knew exactly what he was doing and resolved a problem as they had marked the wrong box in the order for the swap out. New card fixed that. Onsite for only 45 mins

Glad it all ran smoothly for you and you will love it

( cannot see you posting much for a while as you will be too busy playing around with the box and functions

)

thanks for the reply.

I am a existing customer so l will pay the 149 pounds but because l am a existing customer l do not believe l should pay the 40.00 installation fee.

What if you are customer who has paid for your V+ and you want a Tivo? Will that money come off the Tivo price when they swap your Tivo for the box you paid for?

no, it will be Â£149, plus any install fees that apply to you. The email will explain when you get it.

So how come Mersey70 got offered a box for 149 with no install costs , and as far as I know he wasn't a VIP customer.

Didn't you add any padding on to the end?

no,I thought tivo`s epg was going to be regulary updated like sky`s.Must admit i am a tad disapponted there

didnt use padding,Have mine to start 1min b4 and 3 min after (not dared risk padding yet/not really sure how it works)

VM wanted to offer Mersey70 free installation for reasons I don't know. I'm not privvy to his account information/status at that time.

Set padding as you would with V+HD.

Except remember that tivo doesn't handle padding like the V+ when recording back to back shows on different channels on the same tuner.

Shouldn't matter too much once 3rd tuner is live.

"matter too much" being the operative words. I agree, the third tuner will make a difference, but with V+ it didn't "matter at all"

Well covered ground though....
