Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
This might be a really silly question so apologies (I am relatively new to Virgin)... however, If I wanted to put a second V6 box in my bedroom, will I need to have a cable junction there or can I run the V6 box just over WiFi using the master one in the living room? In other words will it work in the same way as Sky Q/Sky Mini? I don't suppose there's anyway to cast the TV Anywhere app to my TV in the bedroom using my Roku?

I was always an early adopter and got brand new boxes which lasted years. like ive got 3x TiVo boxes at the moment, 2 are the exact same boxes I have had since 2012. But end of last year the one in lounge failed, it was replaced via self install. it was a refurb box. It lasted 6 months then hard drive failed in it, VM refused to send me another self install because they implied it was suspicious it hadn't lasted long. They came out, found nothing suspicious and replaced it... and ever since this new box also has an iffy hard drive, it keeps clicking away. so just expecting 1 day to wake up and find it dead then go through the arguments again about whether its a dud refurb box or if its something they think ive done. But the V+ boxes, I had the silver original one from day 1 and still have it boxed up as it was replaced. and the 2nd black one I took failed once and was replaced by TiVo early on after TiVo launch as an upsell. Just have never had issues with new boxes really, but this TiVo box im now on number 3 and its iffy... only thing is the last 2 have been refurbs rather than new. |

However, what they probabaly do is set the price at a sufficiently high enough price that VM say that it doesn't offer good value for the subscriber. Remember years ago when there was the debacle with Sky One? and VM lost it because they was unwilling to pay the price hike? |

And Sky and BT know by setting those high carriage prices for high end niche products no company with decent business sense is going to pay those extortionate carriage rates as l certainly would not.
Sky came unstuck over the Sky Basics debacle as it hit them just as much as it hit Virgin. |

As it looks like there is only one size, 1TB, unless you record a lot at once, have a 4K TV or want to stream things around the house, I can see many sticking with their old TiVo for now (especially since the speed issue has improved). |
Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Hello all. just a quick question about new box, no scart socket, so dose that mean I wont be able to burn my fav shows on to disc, this is why I came back to virgin for the TiVo box, I have sky q silver but cant record onto disc with that.

Implying that VM can provide it but have chosen not to for the time being. If the demand is there, perhaps they'll look to do a deal - if they haven't already. Therefore, some of us are simply voicing that we would like to see it as an option. |

If it available to virgin at a cost they should be doing everything to get it sooner rather than later |

As the VM Telly Tablet is Android though, perhaps this means that those of us with Android tablets will now be able to stream from the box and use TV Anywhere?? ---------- Post added at 13:12 ---------- Previous post was at 13:07 ---------- Quote:

Worth pointing out that there is no extra monthly cost, the usual TiVo monthly fee will still apply. |
