Actually it was Virgin Media not Telewest back then.

do they only run on 2.4ghz?

Ddonald2016 · 08-12-2016, 17:46

Well I found a slot available and that is for Wednesday 14th December instead of January 6th. If people want me to do a video I'll be more than happy to do so, and a full review including streaming and any bugs I find

I agree, I hate all this dumbed down street kid way of communicating from organisations that purport to be professional.

Hi everyone first post here. I got the new V6 box installed today and the speed is great compared to the old tivo box.

Just one problem, in the old Tivo box I used HDMI port to main tv and Scart (21 pin?) cable to Kitchen tv. In the V6 box there is no 21 pin scart and not sure what the scart output (9 pin) thing is. Since there is only 1 hdmi port , anyone have a idea to what I can do, use a scart coverter or something?

Did it allow you to reschedule online or did you have to phone up? I had a look and there was a slot showing as available but as soon as I chose it, it said I couldn't reschedule online.

You would have thought they would have updated the terms and conditions.

"TiVo features: Record three shows and watch a fourth"

Here come the targeted adverts we have been hearing about:

"Information about your TiVo use: By having the and/or using the TiVo service you give us your consent to use your viewing information to personalise your TiVo experience (in addition to the other purposes set out in our privacy policy). We may share this information with third parties..."

P.S. No ideas what "By having the and/or using" means.
