Ken says hi, and he's had some help with his problems. He's a lot happier with his TiVo.

The thing is Stephen, you would expect a new PVR on the VM infrastructure would implement all the useful features of the older PVRs. Or at least I would and I expect a lot of other customers too.
To be quite honest I'd have paid 150quid just for a V+ with a 1TB HD and a faster CPU. I don't actually find much of the TiVo functionality to be all it's cracked up to be. Especially as the EPG data is still full of errors.

New update for these that have applied for this, But I bet not any one will reply if they have been picked?

Hi all,

We have now sent an e-mail to successful applicants to the beta trial. If you have received this e-mail, you have been pre-selected to partcipate as a trialist. Please keep in mind that you cannot discuss your status as a beta trialist or any other detail about the programme in a public forum, such as this.

I appreciate the great response that we received from this community to become beta testers, and it is unfortunate that we were unable to accomodate all applicants in our beta trialist team, as there is limited space on this programme.

I have recorded the information of all applicants, so if you were unsucessful this time around, please rest assured that we will contact you first if space becomes available, or we decide to expand the TiVo trialist population.

I encourage all sucessful applicants to continue to contribute on this forum and in the community, but please use discretion when discussing features or information that may not be in the public domain.

Thanks,
Nick

Not anyone? I would have thought a lot would as people had to apply for this and it was a sell out. Or did you mean reply to your post? So its top secret from that wording.

Queue suspicion and paranoia!

Is he not refering to the PQ testing that those within it are not allowed to talk about in 'public'?

Actually the opposite is true

It's SD picture people are complaining about on Tivo compared to V+

Personally i cant tell the diff but it has been investigated and they have found a problem with 'SD' PQ and threaten to fix it

As far as I'm aware there is no 'documented' problem with HD PQ

Talks about other software features in the build, so i imagine it won't just be the PQ change.

Sorry I should have worded it better just meant to be a update for all about it seems that they are ready to testing.

It seems to depend on the make of your TV whether the difference is noticeable. Some TVs seem to be able to "correct" the problem somehow.

No I had it Surgically removed, So no more of the old Devilincarnate and in with the name sake attitude. Stuff humour as it seems redundant now on this forum?

I'm sorry that your experience with the new Virgin Media TiVo service was a poor one.
Can you please PM me what your journey was like - did you talk with our faults department? Did you access our help & support areas?
Thanks
Robert

My views are my own and not that of Virgin Media

Thanks for that Robert

Since my last series of posts I have had a Damascus moment regarding my TiVo and the Forum

My problems have been eased, and I am much happier now with my Box

I will PM you with details

Your not allowed to talk about the software and features contained not that you are on the trial. Saying that, better safe than sorry eh!
