I've stuck with disabling auto-tune in standby (since I tend NOT to use the Freeview - it's there as a back up in case the cable stops anytime).

Generally a factory reset doesn't affect the installed software, so I'd expect it to be OK

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
just had 2 of these v6 installed and they are superb
the speed and loading of apps is remarkable compared with the old style Tivo boxes - loved the features detested the waiting and load times
not tried all the recording and streaming from box to box yet but well impressed on first look

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Having a V6 installed sometime Tuesday morning, to run alongside a TiVo box. Just a quick question for those of you who have had a similar install. I have Series Links that will need to be transferred to the V6, as this will be in the main viewing room. Does this take long? Tuesday evening is my "heavy load" recording night (currently 4 programmes recording concurrently, with the TiVo rescheduling one), so it would be handy to have the V6 up and running on these Series Links by the evening.

It's a bit unpredictable how long it takes. I'd suggest you manually set up series links for the things on Tuesday just in case.
Although if you can connect your old box to your SuperHub, you'll be able to watch its recordings on the V6 anyway

Thanks for that!
Already have 2 TiVo's connected via PowerPlugs(?) so can already watch some content from one on the other, wasn't sure if this facility would be available between TiVo and V6.

Yes, you'll just need to connect the old TiVo to your SuperHub if it isn't already.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Will be swapping it with the TiVo in the bedroom before the V6 is installed in the lounge, so should all be good to go.
Do I assume that I can watch anything recorded on the TiVo on the V6 if they are connected?

Yes, unless you are recording from At The Races, RTE1 or RTE2. These channels currently don't allow multi-room streaming.

This works fine as long as your old TiVo is connected to your router via Ethernet.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
What are people paying to get the V6?
Just checked my account and they are wanting an extra £51 a month on top of the £85 I already pay each month.
