Don't really get why Sky should get mentioned at all on a Virgin Media forum unless its suffixed with; 1, 2, Anytime, News, Sports, Arts or Movies.

My TIVO is now so sluggish it puts me off using it. Even bringing up the recorded shows list takes about 10 seconds and scrolling through the list is painfully slow. My old V+, piece of junk that it was, was much, much faster.

My TiVo is now much the same. It takes an age for the menus to appear and to click through them. Ten seconds for my recordings to come up is about right. While this happens I also lose the small TV window in the top right of the screen and end up looking at a bare red screen with the spinning hoop. The V+ in the bedroom is much quicker. I still prefer the TiVo, though. I am hoping that the upgrade rumoured for October tackles this and the many other TiVo niggles. Then it really will be a Sky-killer. Fingers crossed.

Re: TiVo menu speed compared to Sky+HD.

Mine is 3 seconds to my shows from live tv. If I'm in the menu system somewhere say the home page, then going to my shows takes 1 second. Scrolling through the recordings is instantaneous.

Regards

John.
