SKY never will be able to better it as Virginmedia have exclusive rights to TiVo, one in the eye for Murdoch.

not sure if this has been elaborated on but in regards to the tuner questions
Inside a lot of the stuff is based on TiVo's Premier box. TiVo Premier only has two tuners, which restricts the product to watch one, record one. Fortunately for us, we don't use it!! The box contains three tuners, like a V+. Once the right parts of the code have been rewritten to support three tuners, there'll be a drop and watch one, record two will be possible. :-)

Can be managed with 3 tuners but not 2 so only 1 spare tuner for actual recording. If Tivo can look back 7 days and record as I noted earlier then that is manageable as it will record a programme as and when time becomes available to go back in the EPG and record something I requested I wanted recording, or am I reading too much into what the box can do?

I think it is more a case of recording the next showing, the rights to keep all show for seven days would be a nightmare and they would have to negotiate with every channel.

“We are premium-positioning,� Rose says, whilst demoing the box for paidContent:UK at Virgin’s London HQ. “We’re initially positioning this as a high-end product as a tier on top of TV XL - £3 more expensive than the standard TV XL subscription. However, we intend to migrate our entire television customer base over to TiVo as our standard product within a matter of years, and not many years. That means, undoubtedly, we will course-correct, refine and review packaging and pricing decisions as we go to make that happen.�

....“We will phase one (box) in and phase the other out and focus on moving our base over to TiVo as soon as possible,� Rose says.

I paid £150.00 for the V+ box about 3 years ago, and think I paid around £50.00 install too. I currently have a V+ box and a standard V box. If I upgrade to TIVO, can I keep the V+ box and have the TIVO box installed in place of the standard V box?

I'm on VIP50 package. What extra would I expect to pay to have a TIVO box in one room, and V+ in the other?

Sorry if this is a little off topic, however this is currently the best thread on Cable Forum for TIVO related questions and answers.

I know it's probably tempting fate to say it but mine has never displayed any of the problems that I hear about on CF and I have had it for several years.

Irreverent. The SA will become one with the Bor-I mean, Virgin-Tivo Collective.

Or more accurately record two, watch one of those.

You will have to wait for the prices to be published because no one knows and if they do then they cannot say if you get my drift.

A nod is as good as wink to a blind horse so they say.

It would be £3 more a month to pay for TiVo subscription, or £7.50 extra if you want to go up to 3 boxes which seems a good idea as your paying for a manned install
