I've been told by other members that if you play with it too much it may fall off. So, be careful.

You may need to reboot to get the logos up.

Question Please!

On the V+ it was possible to skip forward and back by a set time in VOD by pressing buttons on the remote. I cannot see a similar facility on the Tivo. Is it possible?

What are they swapping it out for? Are they charging anything?

I got the free multiroom install / move of the V+ call last night and said yes, but then realised how nosiy the V+ is and putting it in the bedroom might not be a good idea!

Ah, fair enough. I might give CS a call later and ask if it's possible then.

yeh I noticed this. was a handy feature because the FF on OD is pitifully slow. the iplayer app has something similar using the skip key but not sure about old skool OD.
