Can anyone who has one say if it`s noisy or not?

My old sky box was fierce when it warmed up a bit and the fans kicked in. My sammy v+ box is quiet as a mouse, but looking at the vents in the tivo box i`m wondering if it`s going to be a biy noisey.

Hmmm I think I seen that date mentioned on a different forum a couple of weeks ago. Let the cat out of the bag their perhaps?

Microsoft is suing TiVo over claimed EPG, and secure purchase of VOD content IP infringements in the US.

Two possible reasons for this, to protect it's own offerings or to reach cross licensing deals and earn some licensing revenue. Either way it should have no immediate impact on VM TiVo launch.

It has a seperate power pack, like the V-HD box. It makes little or no noise.

For all the fuss people are making about the third tuner, while not being a betting man, I'd place a bet on it not being an issue by the time TiVo is generally available.

So we have to wait until march for installs :-(

Perfect Choice · 26-01-2011, 11:08

March is for 3rd tuner activation through software update (hardware is already in the Cisco box), fully expect first customers will receive them in February and the 14th looks the date from the logo on the van.

I hope the press release is 1st Feb and they also announce 20-30 mbps upgrades to urinate on the Atlantic launch.

Me too!

It would be a good announcement to take the sails somewhat out of the Atlantic launch for sure, though can't see VM being that bothered to plan that intentionally. As for the tuner comment, by general availability I was referring to all and sundry. Obviously as has been previously stated existing customers will take precedence.

muppetman11 · 26-01-2011, 11:25

Just hoping TIVO is as good as my expectations.

I'm not making a fuss but it IS enough of an issue with me to stay with my V+ box until it is activated
