Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

[QUOTE=OhReally;35876903]So, every time a V6 streams Netflix or Youtube it's using the home internet connection if I understand you correctly. This is about 25 megabits from what I can see.

So - 2x V6, each streaming @ 4K is 50 megabits instantly used up, are you seriously suggesting that just that alone isn't going to make the network creak just a bit at the seams?[COLOR="Silver"]

Streaming 4k on a tivo is the same as streaming on a firestick, smart tv or a pc, streaming is streaming it doesn't matter what device you use. Nothing is changing, watching HD in Iplayer on a tivo500 uses 8meg the same as a V6

Phoned virgin to see if they would swap the old tivo to the new one, but they weren't terribly helpful. Wondering what i should do here, as i am still within the 14 day period where i can cancel, and then could sign-up again as a new customer. I would rather not do that, but at the same time don't want to then have to pay to upgrade to the v6 box later down the line. Further complication is that i signed-up through a friend's referral, so not sure if i would then be counted as a new customer and therefore both qualify for £50. I've yet to e-sign the contract.

Any advice on what to do here most welcome.
