They must be selling well if they can afford to add this extra charge.

They are selling very well

Mr. Berkett says. He declined to give specific figures ahead of the company's third-quarter results on Oct. 27.
"It's doing very well," he says. "The response has been better than good; I'm very, very pleased. The level of advocacy for the product is something that I haven't experienced before, virtually in any role I've ever had.

I phoned and asked on FaceBook and was told I would have to pay both fees, but ordered another today and got it for one fee?

Cheers

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
When the bbc red button comes to Tivo by the next update. Will you have to be on a bbc channel to check BBC Sport, BBC News etc ? because the other boxes you could from the home page press 4-4-1 and it took you to bbc sport.

Yes, you can play all in a group in a series, but not individual programmes from different series/groups AFAIK.

I am sure that you have been told this before but.... on TiVo all the red button will do is take you to the app. You will probably be able to go direct to the BBC app from the apps menu also.
The BBC red button stuff will not be included in the update, it will be added outwith the update. TiVo apps and features can be added without needing an update.

Red button on ITV actually brings up an overlay menu with one item in it, a link the the ITV Player section of On Demand.

Red button on ITV is working in Ipswich, just as described by others. Link to ITV player only at this stage.
