DO NOT CALL - anyone.

Is it for orders placed in April they are knocking off the £40 install charge or for actual installations?

Technical question that hopefully someone can answer.

At the moment we have a Samsung V+ box with the HDMI connection going to a DVI input on a Philips TV. This obviously does not carry audio. To get audio we have the audio from the VCR SCART connected to the audio in on the TV.

Can anyone confirm if this is possible on the TIVO or if there is an audio out connector on the TIVO which could connect directly to the audio in on the TV

Thanks
David

According to DF orders booked in April.

Another quirk to report.

There is a show on called Wheeler Dealers on Discovery. Each episode is split into two parts shown back to back My TiVo has been recording it as a suggestion, however it only ever records the first 30 minute part and never the 2nd part.

TiVo needs to understand that it must record both parts !

Cool (the free install for orders in April, my quote mucked up!)

That programme is odd as sometimes they show both episodes in a single 1 hour show and others as you rightly say in two, 30 minute episdoes back to back, more often than not it is split though.

I wonder if it is related to that.

The whole tone of this thread has changed hugely since that annoucement earlier. Lets keep things happy people, it's a much nicer environment

Once our existing customers are booked in it will be open to new customers... should be around May.
