Re: Tivo for bedroom how noises and install question

I had the V+ box in my bedroom and you to had it as the noisy drive would spin up almost hourly during the night and i'd end up having to unplug the thing.
I now have TIVO in my room and i have never had to switch it off as i can't hear a thing from it

Same as everyone else. I had both versions of the V+ in the bedroom and eventually got used to the noise and the light from the display. Having TiVo no noise at all and no glowing display light.

Re: Tivo for bedroom how noises and install question

No way could I have something with a hard drive in the bedroom (no, that's not meant to be rude....)

Don't know how anybody could cope with a V+ in the boudoir - it's like Blackpool illuminations on speed.. the TiVo is quieter but still not silent. The VHD is nice and quiet for me and powers itself off automatically if unattended. VM's most under rated (and fastest) box.

I've got an AV sender from my TiVo downstairs if i want to watch anything recorded upstairs, no need for hard drive noise or to pay VM anything more.

Re: Tivo for bedroom how noises and install question

Just had the box fitted, and it is 1db over so we need a repull, which is being done on the 5th Sept (1-6).
A really good tech, I would say one of the best that been out, to us.
