Old 'Tivo' boxes?
A while ago when we upgraded to new Tivo boxes VM asked me to return one of the old STB's and dispose of the other one. I think at the time that one was Samsung and the older one an SA box.
I have just seen an advert in our local evening newspaper offering cash for Sky digi boxes and Virgin Media Tivo boxes. Surely the Tivos have not yet become obsolete have they? Jim. |
Re: Old 'Tivo' boxes?
Virgin still do ask for TiVo boxes back at present.
Wonder why they want to pay for them though. They can't be used by anyone once they're disconnected - unlike Sky boxes that can be reused with a new viewing card. |

I suppose there are 'unofficial' ways. :(
Still see a few TiVo boxes for sale on Flea bay as well. |
Re: Old 'Tivo' boxes?
There is no way of getting a TiVo box to work on Virgin TV without a valid subscription. The 'unofficial' ways stopped when Virgin Media moved to cardless authentication for TiVo.
And with the eBay TiVo boxes, unless they are selling them as non-working boxes, it's fraud. |

Interesting how many legacy boxes are still active V+ or SD and HD STB none PVR boxes out there?

I can't see what use they would be though, even the FTA channels are obscured by TiVo branding if there isn't an active subscription in place. |

They could always be used as a door stop. :-) |

Maybe there is a way to flash them and use them for 'something else'?

Likewise they only went from analogue cable to digital when analogue got switched off in there area :shocked: Some people are technophobes and if it's working don't want to change it. |
