Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
So, last night I was speaking to a guy in retentions about adding a 1TB Tivo. The conversation went something along the lines of:
VM advisor "I'd leave it a few weeks if I were you - the prices might well be changing"
Grim "I understand what you're saying"
VM advisor "good, because I cant say more than that at the moment"
Grim "cheers, I'll leave it and call back sometime towards the end of April?"
VM advisor "yes that might be a good idea"
So did I just cross paths with the worst saleman in the world? 
Discuss
Cheers
Grim

We like it. Mrs Grim never has a problem finding something to watch. My only gripe is F1, but that's a gripe with the BBC not VM.
Cheers

That'll do for me Den. Really sceptical but was getting weeweed off at the updates being on TIVO and not on my HD box. Virgin phoned me and offered me the upgrade to TIVO and broadband upgrade. Tied into it for a year so time will tell. Thanks for taking the time mate.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Only just used remote record since getting my 2nd TiVo and have noticed remote record works on the newer of the two TiVo boxes but doesn't work on the original one now? Anyone have any ideas?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
The only thing i don't like about TiVo is the remote control, the older V+ had a much better one.

l have to say that l prefer the TiVo remote control but what suits one might not suit another.

I think it depends which Tivo the online TV guide can "see". Not sure how to change it as I only have the one, but I imagine a call to CS might be required

Thanks Carl, had suspected that may be the case but always try other avenues before ringing those awful off shore call centres!

Carl can not speak for him but I got it because my package was reduced by £10 per month if I took it ! & yes I did ask if they would just knock off £10 & leave me as I was .The answer was that, the offer was only available if I had a TiVo . So two boxes instead of one ( my V+) To me that is plain daft, but £10 is £10
