Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Ignore that. There is a bug somewhere in the only upgrade system at the moment.
Call in and you should get a proper price to change. If you've already have TiVo it shouldn't really cost any extra per month to swap that to a V6 box.

Is that on top of what you were already paying? If so it seems rather steep to me.

No. You can't change your postcode on cable, that not how it works.

£38 Per month Wih no Sky Movies/Sport with 200mb BB - This seems to be the minimum package you need to take to have a V6 included.
For me I had to pay the installation and activation cost. The V6 price is already included in my package now. I'm on VIP which comes with 2 x V6 boxes.
I'd definitely recommend getting multiple V6 boxes. (Unless you already have your Tivo hard-wired into the Superhub) The function to watch programmes from either box (at the same time) is brilliant. There is a lot of space and tuners so the recordings clash should be a thing of the past

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Does a 2nd Tivo V6 box need its own connection to the Virgin Media network or can it "piggy back" through the connection between the 2 boxes to use the 1st box VM network connection? Just don't want extra cabling being installed if it can be avoided if this is possible with the new V6 set-up.

Each needs its own co-ax connection

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Afternoon All.
Just had my V6 installed so far so good, just a quick question, I've tried the codes for my Sony amp and none of them work, has anyone got the remote to work with Sony amp.

The remote might not be in IR mode so amp may not be receiving commands.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)
Even if the remote is in RF mode it'll still use IR for the volume / mute etc as these don't exist as functions on TiVo itself.
