I have no idea, good sir. I am sure many more intelligent people will respond with the correct answer though.

But is it now that LG have taken over? They will want to eventually migrate everyone onto their Horizon box, in part so that they don't have to pay licence fees to TiVo.

They may take the view that it is far easier and cheaper to wait until they are ready to implement Horizon in the UK and change boxes from eg a V+ to Horizon, than go the V+--> TiVo--> Horizon route.

A thinly disguised attempt just to say it again.

No one knows. But Tivo has been exceptionally successful for VM, so they may take the view to leave VM alone with regard to a set top box change.

You have a point, but my 246 posts do not take up too much time relative to everything else!

If Netflix does come to TiVo, might activate that again and cancel LoveFilm completely. How easy is it to cancel LF permanently?

I need to get some more posts on here to make the top posters list. As long as I am in the top 100 posters for the year I will be happy.

Tell them you want to cancel then cancel the direct debit with your bank as well either online or in branch that way they can't get any more money from you
