Don't you need the box for that to work?

It can be connected with WiFi - no need for Ethernet connection.

You do, but the webpage should still load anyway. I'd suggest loggging out of MyVM, clearing cookies, then trying again.

Wifi inside this house is very poor, I was told it was due to all the extra wall-ties that were fitted after a rebuild. Ditto an internal DECT phone.

I've done that twice, and I still see the 500 error in IE and Chrome, but a blank page with Firefox.

You can also use a Powerline set - either Ethernet only or Ethernet + WiFi to extend the network to where the V6 is, and then choose WiFi or Wired.

Re: Free V6 box
As a new user to the V6bug for me is no indication to when a program is being recorded!
At least with the Tivo there was a light coming on.

That's one of the plus points of the V6, no flashy lights!

The recording lights were useful on the Tivo, which only had three tuners, but with more tuners on the V6, I find this unnecessary.
If you do need to know if any recordings that you have set are recording at that minute, you just have to look at 'My Shows' and the current recordings are highlighted for you at the top of the list (as long as you are not displaying the list alphabetically).

Re: Free V6 box
Or you can press Info on a live channel or recording and scroll down to the tuner list which will show what they're all up to.
