Been getting that quite a bit recently too - your box is out of date - to go with regular emails and now text messages.

To be honest I’m not fussed either way but other half has said she will kill me if her Randall and Hopkirk deceased recordings disappear. So for a quiet life I’ll stick with what we’ve got for now! 😂

Its looking like they won't force this 'upgrade' without the customers agreement. Hence all the messages/propaganda. Forcibly deleting recordings won't go down well with paying customers, and could cause a nasty backlash. However if they say you 'volunteered' for it, and were made aware, then you've got no comeback.

I’m not sure how many series of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) there were, but 26 episodes of series 1 appears on ITVX.

If they decide to de-commission the TiVo boxes, then they will do so regardless. You lose your recordings whenever you change service provider. The good thing is, you can watch on demand. No need for recordings any more.

Thats all of the original show, there was one season of 26 episodes (also available on BluRay).

Not everything can be streamed OB. Even if is, it'll be full of ads that you can't fast forward through. Recordings win everytime for the viewer.
