I wouldn't have thought so for a few years yet, if at all.

Don't Sky own the streaming rights for HBO in the UK?

Is anyone else having (very minor amounts of) trouble with Netflix on TiVo? The PQ (on Bloodline) repeatedly drops from 1080 down to 288 and then loads 1080 back up. Netflix is fine via the TV. Not fussed by the problem, but just wondering if anyone else has had a problem or if it is my stream to the tivo? No faults showing in my virgin media, or any other issues via me tivo.

That sounds like the issue my parents got a while back your area is probably suffering with congestion on Docsis 1 which the TIVO modem uses.

Been getting that quite frequently of late, sometimes it just fluctuates between 480 and 720p. Oddly if i stop and restart what i'm watching it invariably does the normal jump to 1080p and stays there though.

Glad it's not just me. I think I might just load it through the telly in future. It does not affect my broadband and it is quicker and more responsive than the tivo app. I feel I have been spoiled but the TV app, the tivo app was perfectly acceptable before I upgraded me old tv.

It's been good so far. Watched 2 episodes last night ande whilst its a little slow in places, there is such an undercurrent of tension building up in it already. I am looking forward to continuing it. So much so, I have had to turn off the Ireland Scotland game, just to watch the third episode!!

Excellent Harry, so far I've been watching Better call Saul, House of Cards, and now with this addition on Netflix, it all adds up to at least three excellent shows, imo anyway...:)

Dying to watch Bloodlines too, I really liked Damages. Trying to get through a bunch of episodes for ongoing shows this weekend though, now is one of those times where there's too much decent to watch and not enough time.

True, i've got 5 or 6 hours of shows to catch up on but as it wasn't a bad day i've been in the garden cutting grass, planting spuds and an apple tree.

I'm gonna struggle before the weekend is up.
