I know as I was part of it all when I worked for VM. Am sure this new box will have had the same done.

I've never really had an issue with my TiVo being slow or unresponsive. I am not waiting for the new box though. The price rises had made me leave and Sky Q and Sky fibre and getting installed next month.
I spoke to our solicitor about trying to get out of my contract under the 'Not fit for purpose' rule.

He said that as it works, but does it badly, that any case could go either way and to use the price rise instead if I could to break my contract.
