I don't know if anyone has posted about this previously (I did a quick search but couldn't see anything) but we recently found out the hard way not to unplug our router when going on holiday (like we've always done previously) as the V6, unlike the ordinary Tivo, loses all programme guide info after two weeks because of lack of contact with the network.
Fortunately we managed to catch up with most of the shows that didn't record through on demand, repeats and catch up services after we re-connected to the network on our return.

Thanks, well worth knowing should I win the lottery and be able to afford to be away for longer than 2 weeks😄

Unlike the old Liberate platform boxes (V boxes & V+) that pulled their EPG from the linear TV system, the TiVO & V6 use the internet. TiVO has an inbuilt modem, V6 does not so uses your Hub. No Hub no EPG updates, simples.

Re: VM EPG

There seems to be a issue with BBC 1 , 2 and 4 on the EPG as it only goes up to Sunday the 29th of July while ITV , C4 and C5 go up to the 3rd of August.

This is normal for the BBC. I have sometimes seen the BBC4 schedule only available for 4 days ahead.

Re: VM EPG

Where does the blame lie as surely it can't be that hard to update the EPG on a daily basis.
