TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 3 - Page 162

What's the price difference between v hd boxes and TiVo boxes now? I think my mum would love a TiVo downstairs but she's always worried about ever increasing prices... I've got a TiVo upstairs in my room as I'm selfish. And we've got two v hd boxes too

It's generally £5 per month per box difference between a non-recordable V HD box and TiVo

Would there be an installation charge on top of that Ben? We have a V+ recordable box we may think about upgrading.

If you're swapping an existing box, you can order a swap to a 500GB TiVo via Quickstart for £20 and then the £5 a month (if that's not cancelled out by any new bundle offer)

Just to point out that only one box can be swapped at a time via Quickstart, so if you're looking to change more than one box, more than one Quickstart order would need to be placed.

Just checked online and it is quoting £11.50 per month for a Tivo. Is the Quickstart offer only available by phone or is there a link to it?

Phone only at present to swap a box.

I guess it's assuming that you want an extra box rather than a swop, so it's Quoting £5 + £6.50 for multi-room.

I have noticed that most of the menus are very slow on this new box, unless it was due to the update?

Is it true that I can connect my TiVo up to the xBox One? Seen plenty saying it is possible, but not actually tested it myself.

Just looked into it and seems to be causing trouble for a lot of people.

Yes you can do it and also V+.

What sort of trouble, how old are those trouble posts as there was trouble with Uk tv and the X1 ages ago but all fine now?

spiderplant · 02-02-2015, 19:35

You can do it, and it does cause a lot of problems

. No picture, freezing pictures and the TiVo failing to boot have all been reported.

But try it and see. Let us know how you get on.

I've noticed a few times recently that if I have one of the radio channels on and th change to a tv channel I get sound but no picture. I have to change to another tv channel and then back again to fix it. Is that a known fault?

It has been reported before, but isn't exactly a "known fault". Can you remember what channels you were changing from and to? And had you played back a recording whilst tuned to the radio channel?

andy_m · 02-02-2015, 21:41

It's happened before from a recording and a tonight from a live radio station. The recording was from radio 4, I couldn't tell you what the live station was, young daughter had the remote and we ended up on radio by mistake! I changed from whatever that was to SSNHQHD, then up one and down one to recover the picture.

I'm fairly certain I haven't played a recording whilst tuned to a radio channel, but not certain.
