I've no idea what the average wait time is (that's for VM to know I guess), but I waited just under 3 weeks for mine.

Mine was originally a wait of 5 and half weeks. Got it rescheduled for just under 3 weeks.

The lead times vary hugely between the regions, so knowing the national average won't really help you. All you can do is ring up and see what date they quote.

Not currently, but a full red button/interactive service will be available by end of Q1 next year.
Weather and entertainment apps are available though.

We are working with our content partners to extend this with new Red Buttons services before the end of this year. We hope to have a full range of Red Button services early next year

It says red button services before the end of this year which most likely would be BBC and Sky Sports.
A full range would include QVC , Challenge , Cartoon Network etc.

but if you ordered Tivo you could move your v+ into another room for no extra monthly charge. You would only £3 per month. I personally think the free multiroom offer will end when tivo has full red button services. |
I could do but i only live in a one bedroom flat,and do not really have the room or desire for a tv in the bedroom hence i do not need two boxes.

Went for a TiVo box swap online and was given a date of Saturday 10th December for the install. Quick question this box swap from V+ will not effect any retention deal that I have will it?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Strange one, I can't watch Eden HD on my TiVo as it claims no signal. All other channels work and Eden HD displays on the V+ upstairs!?
