You obviously have issues, but you appear to be assuming, by your recent posts, a large majority of TiVo customers share your problems - if that were true, it is highly likely they would be voicing their concerns here, and that doesn't appear to be happening.

Whilst absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence, recent history has shown CF'ers are fairly vociferous in highlighting any issues they have...

There's enough of them complaining on social media sites.

Sky's ok, but it's not great.

I'd much rather have the TiVo functionality with sky's content.

Yeah, have had Sky+ too, and whilst agree only 2 tuners, I prefer the up-to-date EPG.

Tivo could be great if they just ironed out the few faults.

I can agree with some of your points however I'm afraid you must have an old Sky box if you can't get programme info when two recordings are in progress.

One of the commonly accepted tenets of polite debate is that if you state a proposition, you back it up with evidence - not ask others to find the evidence that you state exists....

I've told them where it is, I'm not going to go through it all again, to copy and paste, got better things to do. It's all there plain to see!

I do have a live, no matter how limited it is.

You said 'social media sites' - generic, not specific.

Not very helpful, IMHO.

Then if you are no willing to backup your accusations then i feel your posts cannot be taken at all seriously. when you can post real evidence not the evidence that is in your head we may take you seriously.

I've got a sky+ hd box and a, admittedly, older sky+ box.

That said I do like the simplicity of the older box.

I'll try and remember to keep notes, got health problems at moment.

Thought you might have been pointing out some of the many daily errors by now. I live in hope, but bet my optimism will run out before your list arrives.

Evidence is right there in front of your eyes if people are not too lazy to look, I've told you were it is.

Some people!

Give us a chance, won't know til it's recorded the bleeding programmes and then later play them back and find it's something completely different.

You said social media, that's a lot of possible sites but hey as YOU are the one that started all this i feel it should be YOU that would be the one to produce the evidence, I have indeed looked around the social media sites btw and can find NO posts or evidence on twitter or facebook that match your so called lots of post. Therefore as far as i am concerned there is NO evidence to backup your claim. Go on prove me wrong

BTW just to show people what your "I told them where to look post was".

So I've just done a google for 'Virgin Media Tivo Recording Problems' and there are no social media sites come up in the first 10 pages of results. I wouldn't say looking through 10 pages is lazy, unless you consider the VM help and support forum is a social media site. I think you've probably exaggerated your claims and are now feeling a bit daft having been caught out. It's no biggy to admit you're wrong - you'll get more respect here if you do admit it and stop trying to convince the long term users here that it's worse than it is. If you look back through my history (especially my discussions with a now banned person) there are things about the Tivo I'm not bothered about, but on the whole it's fit for purpose and does an adequate job.

If i am shown the sites with the issues being reported i can feed it back to those that need the info. I am not willing to report " its on social media sites to the network guys "

They will then say WHICH and WHERE.
