Talking Not had cable for two months - What have I missed?

I had a serious motorbike accident, and have been residing over my parents while I recovered. Unfortunately they have no cable, or even HD To top it off I have been suffering with the joys of AOL broadband all 3mbps of it!

I am a VIP member on 50mb. So I see that I am going to upgraded to 100mb for free, correct? Also the last update I had for TiVo was 15.2, any more new features such as red button or reminders been added? What about any new channels, specifically hd?

Sorry to hear that mate, hope you are on the mend now.

Yes you will be upgraded to 100meg

TiVo has had a small stability update

Red button will be with us before April.

Can you clarify what is meant by Red button will be with us before April. In other words as on V+ ?

Crumbs! Sorry to hear about your accident. Was the bike repairable?

It was a cosmetic write off. I took the payout, as was looking to get a new bike anyway.

Here are some pics of my injuries.
