I might agree with you on some of them, but I haven't seen them yet! And a number of these are for my dear wife.
That's what I mean when I say that the quality of pay TV has gone down.
The programmes I haven't revealed from my DVD recorder are altogether better.

Yes, I totally agree with that sentiment, OB.

While I have you there I'm new to the Tivo (V6) - I have a question about the SeriesLink + - If I record say Strike Back which is currently series 6 will it automatically record series 7 if there is one?

They are stored on the hard drive like other recordings but show as free space. They automatically get over written by your own recordings.

Yes, if it's on the same channel or you have set the series link to record from all channels.

Don't worry, you'll get plenty of warning if you are going to lose any services.

Just double checking this, not that I'm doubting Spiderplant as he is the fountain of all VM knowledge.
Does Strike Back fall into that grey area with series links? I mean, it's one of those shows that has a separate subtitle from series to series so may not be picked up?

In this instance you are right to doubt. I'd never heard of Strike Back. If it's a "CSI" type of thing you may well be correct. It's entirely up to the person defining the guide data to decide whether or not they are the same series.
If in doubt, use a WishList

Re: Free V6 box
Well bright and early 08.00 V6 delivered on my doorstep.
Only outstanding problem is linking the volume on V6 remote to my Panasonic TV.
Spare HDMI cable plus cat 6 cable included in the box for those still waiting.

I can't hear anything when in bed. Just a shame about the light, but at least you can mask it if necessary, one way or another.

Have to say I was slightly misled on the V6, making next to no noise. When 'on' I can definitely hear it 'breathing' at night from across the room . The VHD was silent; suspected something with a hard drive/fan must make some noise. Putting it into standby does almost totally quieten it, does take a few mins to power down, bearable I guess. The lights have been black taped up nicely. Might resort to Spiderplants suggestion and stick it in a cupboard as the remote doesn't need direct line of sight. Just have to chisel the back of the cupboard out, Mrs K will never know till we move

Re: Free V6 box
How is this offer made? Do Virgin email you? Currently on full tv package (sorry don't know the name of it, the big boona or something) with phone and Internet. Have two TiVo boxes currently, is changing over worthwhile? One box is in my daughters room, if the box is noisy as some have stated it may be best not to change if I get an offer? Thanks in advance for any advice

Maybe it's asthmatic.
