I tend to have to do a reboot at least once a week either for this or similar loss of a channel.
The V+ in the bedroom is fine.
Any ideas ??
( Mrs D&C has already suggested that I watch the cricket in the bedroom, while she watches the big plasma in the lounge !!!!)

YES! Phone Virgin and tell them to fix your problem...

... let us know how you get on.

Sorry pal now you can see why time shifted sport is a big no no for the vast majority

To be honest it's usually a big no no for me too, but I wanted to watch the Apprentice live. And by "I", I mean "my wife".

Good luck with your new toy gsc.

Cheers denphone, any little tricks or tips anyone can tell me about ?? No doubt I will be back on here asking how do I do this, that and the other !!!

[andy_m]

Best tip is to have a play around with it, be prepared to give it some time before you fully make your mind up, and above all trust it. I've seen a lot of people try to tell it what to do and then get upset when it doesn't respond in quite the way they would expect it to based on their experiences with other pvrs.

Well..........not a very good start. Got in from work tonight after TiVo installed at 8am this morning to find out it wasn't working !! Great !!

It was just showing the "Starting up.." screen. I left it for a while but still nothing, I then tried the obligatory switch off, wait 10 seconds, then back on again but still nothing. So i called CS who said they will escalate the prob to Area Manager as was a "less than 12 hour old install". Also said they will send signals down the line to see if it made any difference. They would call me back shortly.

About 15 mins later a very helpful girl called Vicky called who assured me she would try and get prob sorted and that AT THE LATEST an engineer will be with me tomorrow night (Friday). Then all of a sudden about 8.45 tonight it flickered into life

Sadly not all good news as Catch Up / On Demand not working....

I was going to cancel engineer call-out but as these services not working I'm going to let him call and hopefully check EVERYTHING out for me
