Yes it will. This is one of the nice things about Tivo and something that I do not think either the V+ or Sky+ do.

ETA:

To clarify... any SLs on the original, SD, channel or it's +1 will be fine. You will, of course, have to manually re-create any SLs if you want them on the HD variant.

Thank you can not say that HD is of any interest to me. TV is only 32" so really can not see the difference.
The Fact That TiVo can do this is a plus point, which makes a change ! However if you know ( and thats a BIG if) its no a real problem

Mine's only a 37" and I can tell the difference; even with my bad eyesight!

Not that I care much myself either. I wouldn't not watch something just because it wasn't in HD

Have you actually tried HD? Is your TV "full HD" capable?

His TV only needs to be HD ready for HDTV on VM - as nothing is broadcast in 1080p from VM. At least the last time I checked.

Of course that's only for TV.

Oh, right. Yeah. Of course. My mistook

Hi. Rather than start a "Wimbledon" thread, does anyone know if its the BBCs' decision to only be showing 4streams this year instead of 6?

Thanks.

It down to BBC I think.

In 2013 it will only be ONE stream for viewers not using TiVo.

Ok then thanks. So I guess its VM who are choosing to only show 4 streams via the V+HD box is it? when you are still receiving 6 via TiVo.

And the BBC Red Button will offer an alternative match on Freeview, up to four streams on Satellite, Cable and Freesat, plus a highlights service and replays of Today at Wimbledon.

Some things you can see the difference between HD and SD. Golf for instance, you can all the contours on the course. And wildlife programmes are great in HD as well.

You will need to ask an Virgin worker that.

But I do know that BBC are cutting the Red Button streams on Virgin (For viewers not on TiVo) and Sky down to one stream soon - After August 10th.
