Ben, does that mean from the EPG you can now select iPlayer programs?

you should have got one of your other boxes replaced and kept the v+ and the tivo for the same price

Quick question, my VM 12 month contract is up on the 5th August, now i shall be ordering the 500GB TiVo box when i renew the contract for 18 months, but would i get the V+ HD box moved into another room for free? also would they charge the monthly fee of Â£5 or would it be Â£11.50 for M+ TV or does this get waved?

Thanks Denfone. I'm having the Tivo installed downstairs & the v+ moved upstairs.
Can't wait to see the new features it has to offer.

Is 18 months a standard contract for TIVO now ? I wouldnt like to be contracted to any TV provider for that long.

I think its 18 months if you take the 6 months half price offer or 12 months if you pay full price. "I think!"

I suspect it will only start working from today though, any existing content probably won't link

Just been having a look at this

It seems the linked content is iPlayer VoD same as it was before rather than connected to the app, so the if you can't find something and it's on the internet version, you'll still be able to get it via the app I think

I had 2 V+ boxes already mate thanks to the CEO, customer services for some reason still thought I had a standard V box! But thanks for taking the time for the advice.

I'll tell you one thing your wife isn't going to moan about, the noise from Tivo(or lack of it) this has really impressed me, IT'S AS QUIET AS A MOUSE!!!

Cheers for that Nick, we currently have 2 Samsung V+ boxes and they're pretty quiet anyhow so I'll be impressed if TiVo is even quieter than those!

My V+ Hd was way noisier than Tivo, I don't think it has a cooling fan from what I understand.

jb66 · 19-07-2011, 23:08

The TiVo is quieter, it's got a plastic casing that doesn't vibrate and it's psu is outside the casing to help keep it cooler

Firmsky · 20-07-2011, 00:08

Thanks for that guys, well that is one less thing she can moan about!

Has anyone noticed BBC I-player catchup in the TV guide yet because I don't see anything in there yet?

I can see it in Catch-up but it's not available from search or in the backwards EPG yet, Ben?
