Also no shows from 4 music or 4 seven or CBS or channel 4 Or E4 or MTV Channels and limited UK TV, the rest need to be TV anywhere but only wifi

There is very little material I can send to my box wow

No surprise that Sky are withholding them. Maybe MM can fill us in on a comparison with Sky Q (availability of non Sky channels)? Not a feature I'd use, but other people could want it

The other problem is we can stream some channels but TV anywhere is reliant still on wifi unlike sky

Evening all.
Sorry if this has been asked i have a 500GB Samsung Tivo at moment, i,m interested in the V6 but would like to know if i use V6 as main box for recording shows will those shows show up on Samsung Tivo so i can still archive them.

I suspect it can, but don't know for sure. I think with Tivo, it records from the scart socket, what is playing on Tivo. There may be some copy protection that knows that you are streaming from another box; I really don't know.


Spiderplant would be the authority on this.

Thanks for reply if there is copy protection I won't bother with the V6.

Yes but you will need a power line adapter one end in Super hub and one end in TiVo. That's the way to do it

Well the copy protection issue to the tablet is a real problem and that will limit customers way to watch there content on the move

[albertsteptoe]

Sorry what is that.

As far as I know TiVo to TiVo you should be able to still archive. But you can't achieve direct on a v6 like sky q due to no scart

There is no SCART copy protection on recordings.

No you don't. A direct Ethernet cable from hub to Tivo would be fine.

[albertsteptoe]

Is this what you mean by power line adapter, IDevolo 500 Wi-Fi Single Powerline Socket i have sky q silver can't archive on that either, that's why I cane back to virgin to get the Tivo.

spiderplant, sorry to be a pain one more question please, do you mean a Ethernet cable from my old Tivo or to V6.

[Ddonald2016]

Its just a shame we can download to tablet but with restrictions there are not many channels allowed to download from
