Damn near impossible I'd say - instead of booting off the hard drive like US Tivos do it boots of flash memory so there's no scope for modifying it (it loads a kernel + a squashfs root and only touches the hard drive for /var and the MFS partition, and possibly /db).

I suspect but haven't proved it that if you put an empty hard drive in there it'll partition and initialise it itself, which is a bonus for upgrades (HD is 30% full already after 2 weeks, so I'm already eyeing up a 2Tb upgrade).

.

Just got off the phone to the CEO office and made my feeling clear about lack of solid info re roll-out and what the current timetable etc is.

Made it clear that what Virgin need to do more than anything is to post a statement laying out what is happening and what will happen ie when this phase is complete and what will happen re next phase if successful or not.

Upshot is that its going to be passed on, hopefully with the TiVo team being asked to make a statement.

I said that the easiest way was to post it on the Virgin Community Forum as it would be reposted everywhere else quickly. I thought it the most likely place they would post.......

This will hopefully happen and give us some definitive information that we can rely on and not conflicting stories and rumor clouding the issue.

Virgin have a good product , but communication regarding it has been shambolic.

gaz2810i · 01-03-2011, 20:18

Just recieved an e-mail from someone at Virgin asking for my contact details and best time to call about installing TiVO. Fingers Crossed I am one of the lucky ones and get the call rather soon

You have hit the nail squarely on the head with that comment.

I think the flash from the camera lit them up. The box doesn't appear to be switched on.

I would imagine there will be more complaints from people who set the series link and then don't go in to change the padding options and end up missing the end of all their shows !

When you set a series link it asks if you want padding, every time
