Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

Just had 2 v6's installed and I must admit I'm blown away with the responsiveness of it after getting used to the old tivo. Even the channel guide with the channel names looks good. I did have one problem though which I need to phone up over. The installer told me that I only had 4 boxes on my account and even phoned up to check when activating abdo they said the same.even though I have 5 fully working boxes.

Re: Virgin Media V6 - Powered by TiVo(new STB)

An additional box would increase your bill by £7.50 a month if no other changes to your bundle deal was made.
