One question I've got is, I've had 100mb broadband fitted, I do a speed test and it's only showing 55mb download speed. But the virgin tech says it's all fine and I'm showing 92-98mb on there system? Is speed test a good reading and has anyone with 100mb connection get better readings than me?

you'd be better posting in the Virgin Broadband part of this site for your broadband questions.

Maybe better asking the question in the internet forum , some really knowledgeable people in there.

Seems like yesterday,And i remeber paying £149.00 for that and a £10.00 per month charge.Thinking back that makes the tivo look like a bargain

Is there a reason that the registration site is now saying sign up before March 13th to be the first to know more about Tivo?

BenMcr · 12-03-2011, 11:34

I would assume because the pre-registration closes after that?

howardmicks · 12-03-2011, 11:39

The Twitter client - have they done it 'right' or 'wrong'?

By this, I mean can it overlay on live TV? Can it tweet the current program name you're watching, or even a shortened link to that program on the VM site? Or is it as bad as the Xbox 'full screen, doing nothing else' one..
