Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Will the rollout be only on Tuesdays and Thursdays as the new channel launches are?
I quite like the look of it on TV Anywhere on my iPad

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Morning everyone. Just wondering if anyone was able to let us know how the update trials were going, anyone had any issues (big or small) with the update yet?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Just a quick question guys, I've already got a Tivo and other V+ boxes, one of which is playing up a bit by rebooting itself at odd times, if I phone up about it will Virgin replace it with a Tivo? and if they do is it now a self install job?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
You can replace a V+ HD box for TiVo 500GB for £20 delivery and then £5 extra a month if you're on TV XL. That's excluding any other bundle changes.
If you wanted to do both at the same time it would have to be a manned install at £49.95, and then if you're on TV XL it would be £5 extra per month per V+ HD > TiVo swap.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
In the box the TiVo comes it, with a prepaid sticker on it and you take it to a Collect+ place.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Got to call Virgin tomorrow morning again. This is the second TiVo box that keeps freezing when changing channels. Doesn't seem to be a fault their end and nothing showing online so a call to an engineer is needed. Oh well. Might see if they can swap a faulty one for a 1TB box. Doubt it but you don't ask, etc.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Just because TiVo has rebooted, doesn't mean it's received a code update.

Depending on the content, you might just want to skip past all the boring bits and get straight to the good bits.

It's only years of SD content or 4,000 hours of HD. Who records anything in SD these days?
