How Long Can I Watch The Christmas Free View Recordings
I'm on the M pack and channels like Gold/Alibi/Etc are free until January 2nd.
If I record something from one of those channels now, can I watch it after the free period ends on January 2nd, or will playback of recordings stop on the same date?.

Re: How Long Can I Watch The Christmas Free View Recordings
I believe you'll still be able to watch them, unlike the Sky premium channels that won't let you watch content after you've unsubscribed.
Try it and see. Fill up your TiVo with the whole of 'Keeping Up Appearances', then if it doesn't work you won't be that disappointed

Ah, but if I fill it up with things I do want, and it doesn't work, I'll end up very disappointed!.

Grab a beer and watch them ASAP and if you dont have time - prioritize your recordings!

This will be the correct answer to your query Dave. If spider says something about the Tivo then you can be 100% sure the information is correct.

That's because those are Sky-owned channels. Sky are the only broadcaster to impose this restriction.

Re: How Long Can I Watch The Christmas Free View Recordings
The VM forum team are saying recorded programmes won't be available to view after the free period. Willing to bet they are wrong/just guessing and Mr Spiderplant is right.

Some time back Sky movies was free for a week and recordings carried on fine after the period ended on our TiVo. And for quite some time until the box broke.

That wouldn't happen with Sky recordings now

Order it online via existing customer deals in My Virginmedia and it probably won't even cost any extra to go to M+. It might even be less

Re: How Long Can I Watch The Christmas Free View Recordings
Well, I recorded some programmes before I decided to downgrade my package, all recordings worked ok even though no longer subscribed (on V+ box and Tivo)
