Will the new box still work with the original Tivo remote, and thus the current Harmony profile Spiderplant?

The old remote will work with the new box and vice versa, so I wouldn't expect any need to change your Harmony profile.

Sky+ Family Bundle , Sports and Movies (HD) £80
Sky Q Silver , Sports and Movies (HD , UHD) £92

As I said UHD costs more

Hey listen cool you did work it out better than I did, so what would mean you pay £5 for the sports in HD and a further £7 for UHD

But say you get sky q but you want movies and sports without UHD what then

I feel that is way dearer than sky they offer a box for £99 but £199 is just taking the mick with a £15 a month charge over a year it's £137 dearer than sky, so I'll stick with original slow TiVo for time being. Two boxes will cost me near £300 versus £200 and extra £27 versus £12 a month maybe it is time for sky

That was the prices we was given - Virgin Media UK may change them.

As MB said prices are subject to change.

Think I'll be switching to Sky Q. Those prices are not good at all.

[blue666666]

so 4k is 199 and 15 pound a month. thought the prize would the same as sky, way to much for me. but your info could change so will wait to make judgment.

[Martin_D]

Its a no from me if the prices stay at that.

They never learned anything from the current TiVo. Sky give away boxes free versus £200 forget that, once sky is installed in my close I'm off to sky

Exactly mate the boxes from sky are free as we loan them from sky. We are paying not only £199 to loan a box but a £15 per month fee for that. I'll stay for broadband but the rest goodbye virgin

I know that but if they don't change come October goodbye virgin, I refuse to pay £199 to rent a box when sky is free over 1 year this will cost £380 versus £144

I'm sure the prices will be better at launch, those seem too high. But we don't know what VM's other charges will be before we can judge properly.
