Where is your evidence for that? How do you know what people are thinking or doing? Yes, you know some are complaining about lack of tivo, but you have no knowledge of what other things they consider important and whether lack of tivo fits in their priority list.

All decent people know that lack of tivo is miniscule in the grand scheme of things; it's so obvious there is absolutey no reason to state it. That doesn't preclude them from complaining about the tivo roll out.

Maybe you're assuming that the people on here aren't decent? If that's the case, maybe you need to get a new perspective on people?

The V+ codes will work as far as they go, but the TiVo remote has a few extra buttons that you'll need to teach it.

Wrong forum and if we use your logic we cant get annoyed at anything or we have to think about something "worse". Using emotional blackmail isn't a good tactic.

I set my Harmony 555 up not long after install, gave me something to do while the EPG was updating as it takes a couple of hours to do this after it is first turned on.

If you select Cable box as the device type, Virginmedia as the Make and TiVo as the model it should find it.

However, I still had to teach it some buttons, about 8 or so if I remember correctly. Took me a little while to get it spot on but that was mainly due to the fact I hadn't had to use the Harmony software for over a year.
There may be an easier way to do it but if I honest I just wanted to get it done and check the box out

It works well as you would expect from a Harmony remote. My only annoyance is that the 555 model doesn't handle quick button presses on the arrow pad very well which wasn't a problem on my old SA V+ because that was slow anyway but TiVo is lightning quick and the Harmony slows it down a touch. But that is a hardware issue, another model might be OK

Can anyone confirm if the TiVo remote can turn TV sets on and off from Stand By? Much frustration with the V+ remote was that you could alter TV volume but not turn a TV on from stand by, which I've had to keep the original TV remote around for.

Yes it can and you can switch sources on the tv by holding down the text button.

As it wasn't mentioned, it's hold the Power key for a couple of seconds to turn the TV on and off

Re: TiVo

I would expect so. TiVo doesn't do VoD in the US, so it has to be specifically written for the Virgin version

Re: TiVo

I am assuming so, but considering Cable offered Box Office about 15 years ago on a service less powerful than an iPad is today, I find that Tivo can't offer Box Office ridiculous.

Virgin Movies On Demand is fully on offer yet this is just too much to ask, lol.
