Re: TiVo
It has an internal cable modem and it just uses the one cable feed for that and TV. Nothing should have to be done with the wiring inside your house!

Do they need access to the box on the wall to test this or can they do that from teh cable that comes out of the box into the STB? As mine is hidden away behind a cupboard which is a right pain to move.

Re: TiVo
DP? I only know one acronym for that and I am pretty sure that doesn't apply in this case and I aint thinking of Director of Photography.

Re: TiVo
Hi all, been reading this thread with immense excitement. Just switched from Sky had a Sky Switcher deal from vm witch was pretty good. Sky tried the old 'we have more HD channels then them' but i wasn't listening, TIVO was all i was thinking. Was with vm a couple of years ago and only really moved because they had poor HD at the time (that seems to have all changed know)
any road get vm installed on Tuesday and registed for TIVO does anyone know if i would get a look in at the first lot of release or would i have to wait untill TIVO is available to all

Existing customers will get priority but other than that no one knows the roll out procedure
