Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Had my letter from VM today advising the TIVO update is going ahead. Message will be found in Help & Settings and as per the post by Media Boy about rollout by area will happen between the 17th and the 24th.

Also posted on here I believe before someone says anything

Anybody else had the letter or is mine just late?

Time for the update is approx 2am and will take about an hour

Apologies if members already know this

Will the box be useable during this time?

No it's a major code download. All recordings will stop during the hour.

No, reason why 2am except there are bound to be some people watching at that time but they have to do it some time.

Do NOT turn off box while update is proceeding, it will wipe all your recordings and settings so just leave it to update when it happens.

The new text entry will be a welcome addition that was one of my minor niggles on my brief use.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2011) Vol. III.

Letter does not mention Sky Sports red button specifically, it does mention iplayer HD on YouTube but it does add "And much,much more."

Whatever that means.

Was it a given that the SS red button would be available for TIVO with this update?

No date set for either of these 2yet but this update lays the basis for the BBC Red button and also the SS Red button.

I'm also hoping the ID channel will eventually be shown on VM sooner rather than later.

What I have noticed is quite a lot of the ID programmes are being shown on VM's lifestyle channel Discovery RT.
Hopefully a sign of things to come?

Programmes such as =

On the Case with Paula Zahn
I (Almost) got away with it
True Crime With Aphrodite Jones
Who the (Hell) Did I Marry
Couples Who Kill
48 Hours
The Real NCIS
The Will
I Married A Mobster(which is on tonight btw)
etc etc.

The above programmes/shows are just a few of what the ID channel has to offer and for a crime show fan like myself I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that eventually it will be shown on VM.
