Go to Home -> Help & Settings -> System Info -> System Info to see the version number.
VM will update your box automatically when the time is right. You don't need to do anything.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
well i tried the free route and got no where been with them 9 years but in the middle of a new deal from march this year, still went for it because of the free V+ box upstairs for as long as we have tivo , thought to myself knowing my luck march next year that promo might have ended. when they move the V+ box upstairs do they dumb it down to anormal box or does it keep all its features?. Looking forward to Wednesday to get the beast fitted.
p.s also confirm my obligation is to keep TV for 12 months (any tv package).

Would i get the free multiroom offer if I have TV XL and currently have a V HD box also do they need to install cables in the other room or is just a signal to the box in the another room ?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Just found this. It was posted by Ben who is a Virgin Media staff member
Quote:
If I understand how the multiroom offer works it applies to single box customers upgrading to TiVo and who are on XL tv
If you aren't on XL tv or already have more than one STB it doesn't apply.

V+ moved ( no charge) guess that ties in with this
TiVo installed NO charge so much for brand new customers only 
And my overall bill reduced by £9 per month ( so as I see it no £3 per month cost either)
