How can you say that.

Remember -I was the second one in your fan club !!

Anyway I'm glad you support a good team - I like Everton as well

My sincere apologies to you but by the way who is Everton as l have never heard of them at this present time, perhaps they can be a feeder club for their great rivals the one and only Liverpool.

TiVo 500GB is through Sales which is UK and Manilla (who sound American)

Sorry about the banter Mods - back on topic

The Â£3 TIVo fee is waived on VIP50, so does anybody know if a second TIVo is ordered would you then have to pay the Â£3, or not?

BenMcr · 11-05-2011, 14:45

As the TiVo fee is applied once per account, what do you think?

Why do you need to use a magnifying glass on giants? Is your eyesight really that bad?

Yes my eyes have become worse by reading your threads.

I've been watching this thread for some time as a guest but thought I would join so that I could post some questions.*
I have had my TiVo since the 16th April and had a S1 from about 2002.*
I logged a call last week a out an issue with on demand. When I go to the TV on demand and view all shows it displays a left pane with ABC, DEF etc. If you select ABC then right arrow on to the selection of programs then press page down it thinks for a out half a minute then displays a message that there are no programs to display (not sure of the exact wording). VM couldn't fix the issue over the phone and so an engineer came round on Saturday. He put in a new box to test and this had the same issue, luckily he had not initialised the old box and swapped it back. This was later found to occur on a test box that his boss tried later back at their office. This issue also seems to fail looking at the list of HD on demand, anyone else had this issue.*
Also I rang VM up today to enquire about the 500GB TiVo and they said that I would have to pay the Â£3 per month extra even though I already pay it for the existing box. Also I was told that the box would cost Â£99 activation as I already have one (plus the Â£40 install which I expected). Can anyone give any more info on the cost of the smaller TiVo when this is a second box.*

Thanks for your help.*

Can anyone confirm how many customers now have Tivo? Any of you guys who work for Virgin have a ballpark figure?

Please see and respond to this thread on the official forum:

This is an issue in some regions that we've had ever since TiVo released and still no word on a fix. It happens on many of TV Choice menus, though for some menus it always happens on the 2nd or 3rd page rather than the 1st.

To be honest I have little hope of seeing a fix any time soon. My region has had TV Choice problems for more than 3 months now on all boxes and Virgin have proven completely incompetent in dealing with it so far (it's probably had at least 6 fault tickets raised).

There's a possibility the problems are related and just much worse on the TiVo box. There's something wrong with the regional on demand headend that causes the folders to get messed up and programmes to go missing from them (or show up in the wrong folders, or have a bunch of duplicates etc) and my suspicion is that this is causing the TiVo menus to time out.
