I think the time to judge VM's "new" tv service would be several months/a few years after the launch of the new tivo. If it still works then and it is fast, then great. But, all we can go by is history and the history of cable tv is lousy.

Good question but I suspect the NDA will inhbit a reply. I think the answer would be 1 no and 2 yes.

We could put a call out on the community forum More than half the threads on the homepage are complaints about speed.

But joking aside, even the current Tivo can manage when first installed or wiped clean, it's after a few days of use and in areas where the network is over utilized that anything useful can be determined.

I imagine VM will now dismiss any complaints about the current box being slow, even more than before, as attempts to get a free upgrade. I see the mods over there have now categorically stated no firmware changes will be rolled back.

.... bit lost there, how would overutilisation matter for the tivo? Surely that is only relevant for broadband??

oh ok. Just what I have always been told, what with on demand never working, very slow performance, spinning circles all the time, C501 and other errors, 2 minutes for youtube to load etc. Anyway, time to more on, hope it works out for you all.

If you do the research, I think you will find that is at least 60"


However HDR worth it at any size, but does seem to be limited to 4k sets.

It's subjective, not cast in stone. I tend to agree with you, but many will argue 55" at least is worth it. Hence all the 55" 4K sets. Eventually probably all sets will move to 4K, just because. But right now, as you say, since HDR is linked to quality 4K sets, which generally means 55"+, UHD is not cheap (the point of the original comment).

Granted it may look terrible, but from a TiVo hater I can say it is terrific, fast QUIET (silent) and you can always keep it out of sight. (as without saying anything I can't give away) the remote doesn't need pointing at the box.

put it this way if anyone had an sa v+ box they'll know how bad it was, then the Samsung v+ came out. massive improvement. this is like that only100x better.

Indeed, we will hear soon enough. No point in giving Sky an advantage by revealing such information too much in advance.
