Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Recording loads of stuff from Sky Movies HD fills up the disk space pretty quickly as well. I'm building up quite a nice library of films here.

It would be handy to keep just the section of the programme I was on rather than the whole thing.
I can see there would not be a widespread demand for the feature though. |
Well, I'm intrigued (or just nosey- take your pick ). What sort of programmes do you appear on?

The activation fee for existing users is supposed to be £49 + £40 install and I believe that the £3 per month is by account not each box.
Perhaps one of the VM staffers could confirm?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
The monthly fee is per account for definate
The briefs say the the first 500GB TiVo would cost £49.95 and further 500GB cost £99.95 (Plus install). It's not exactly clear the situation if you already have a 1TB TiVo as to which price applies.

Mainly live and pre-recorded interviews on news and consumer affairs programmes - nothing too interesting i'm afraid!

Yes it would be nice if someone could clarify the situation.

Yes. Pretty much why I decided to replace both V+ boxes at the same time as I knew I'd end up replacing the bedroom one fairly soon anyway.

Well that's not strictly true since I have 2 x 1TB ones at the moment and I know several others with the same. Maybe though there's less of the 500 ones about so they are limiting them to 1per household - which may mean that if you have one of either size they're not letting you have a second in the 500 version?
