... and with the new TiVo software, you can use Series Link+ to put both of those Catchup programs into My Shows when they become available.

That's what I was suggesting; 'Catchup'. It should be available via the backwards epg a day or so later.

l got round the last one 11.22.63 MM so then l was left with 5 recordings set at the same time and l can't use a time shift channel as there are things recording at those times so sadly l am up the creek without a paddle it seems.

Home Fires - itv player
Bloody tales from History - don't know.
Match of the day 2 - bbc iplayer
Great estates of Scotland - don't know
New Tricks - bbc iplayer
11.22.63 - on demand on vm via fox?

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin Media TV (2016)
Did a test speed comparison for a TiVo app and same app on smart to very shocked. Virgin said that's just how long it's meant to take lucky it's not longer
Take a look at this video on YouTube:

Our Virgin Sources says "By Olympics games" dated from last July.
We have still to get an real launch month or even an date but we do know that Virgin Media UK are testing the new TiVo box out.
We still cant post any information on what all the new toys is on the TiVo box. (Some posters will be happy).

Well seeing l have been using a crystal ball these last few days to make some predictions he might be right for once but then again you have to remember l am usually wrong about a good many things as you know on this forum.

Unfortunately, new Ofcom rules may make matters worse with regards to clashes The TiVo, from what I can gather, won't allow people to use 'negative padding' to end a programme before the end. Understandably because, in normal circumstances, this wouldn't make any sense!

I think that if we are lucky to have smart to it is a good substitute for the apps on the current gen TiVo then we are lucky, if you don't have a smart to well it's not good
