To be fair everyone will have there own preferences , I like the BB with VM their phone service is way to pricey and their TV service has improved however still lags behind Sky , I constantly get grief off the family about cancelling Sky LOL.

But personally I missed the extra HD channels I don't watch a great deal of TV and now I watch almost exclusively 100% HD. When I went to VM in December I lost about 6 HD channels I watch a lot off. Add that to the cost of the Tivo box I decided to return to sky. My multiroom is installed Monday morning.

I have kept VM phone and BB.Also it would be cheaper for me to stay with VM due to there package pricing.

But your state of the art tivo missed the end of the football.Old fashioned sky didnt.

At least the TiVo will ask if you want to pad recording with live sports so you can add it every time, plus a series link on live sports such as the Tour De France etc will ask you if you want to pad every rcording.

A must do with the number of ends of stages I have missed in the past

(off-topic) I really do object to VM Staffers using these silly emotion/emoticon images.

Plus they fact they endlessy defend the company even to people who aren't customers of what service they are talking about...

Edit: Please see my next post in this topic.

Simple it is better than resorting to shouting or arguing and it is usually to lighten the moment.

Everyone can use them if they want here is the link http://www.addemoticons.com/emoticon...ted/index.html

I agree. I have 2 VMtv boxes up and running and they will be running untill early/mid March so I will continue to have my say.

Once the boxes are removed I won't give my opinion as I will have no means to validate or qualify it.

Oh, sorry, I thought you didn't have TV anymore, hence the last sentence in my post.

ummmm how do you do this, I have never seen an option for manual recording (maybe I missed it) but I wouold be very interested to know how to do this

Thanks for that, I hadn't noticed it. But as my wife would point out that I, being male will have only glanced at the manual anyway (That's her opinion anyway)

I've got the Liverpool game set to record on Thursday and my lovely little Tivo warned me that it was a live event and that it recommendeds I should add padding as it could over run. :-)

Good little Tivo box ;-)
