Must say the TiVo looks better than Harmony BUT still

Whole Home DVR

• Watch recorded shows on any TV in the house – all from a single DVR.
• Switch rooms and keep watching. Pause your recorded show in one room and resume watching it in another.

The rights holders of most UK channels are not allowing VM Tivo to Tivo MRS, so there is little chance of that being allowed in the UK at the moment. The limitation for these things is not with the Tivo box, but is because of moronic rights holders who can't see that limiting legitimate paying customers from unlimited device access is only encouraging things such as piracy. They are stupid.

You say you don't see the point of +1's, that is fine, but what is your objection to them being on the platform?

I don't have an objection. Just they don't matter. Seemingly, people would be happy to see +2 and +3 channels launch as though it matters.

TBH sometimes +2 and +3 channels can come in handy mainly when a film has started an you have missed most of it on the +1 channel

Other providers invest in new channels that's why they are able to add them,vm decided to sell there option on that and just buy off providers.they choose to deal that way and that's why we now getting mediocre channels rather then the ones we really want

Are people really turning to piracy in order to watch something in the den which they have legitimately recorded in the lounge? I'm sure they are when it comes to things like Atlantic, but for certain channels not yet available on MRS?

Fair enough, can't argue with that. Any channels that help others with their scheduling will be welcomed by me.

Lets hope those who have no use for them/ do not care for +1's get equally annoyed if we ever get Sky Atlantic +1

Today, I have not long just put t'telly on and have found out that I have missed nearly all of Brewsters Millions - a first class "guilty pleasure" movie if there ever was one. Richard Pryor is/was a legend.

Off to create a wishlist now!!!!

Small print confirms ESPN is leaving the XL pack

Channel line ups are subject to change and from the end of July ESPN channels will no longer be included in TV XL, the Premiere or VIP Collections

Another Virgin Media cock-up like last weekend for BT Sport?

Ofcours another cock up, VM will never be able to afford to give it to XL subs, and that would make Sky much less attractive for sports fans.

Also, could VM buy exclusive rights to shows and only show them On Demand? Just a thought, it would be a nice USP against Sky/BT

Warner have closed the service on all providers

[muppetman11]

Haven't Warner Bros TV just recently signed a deal to add TV shows to Amazon's Lovefilm ?
