Will the new box still work with the original Tivo remote, and thus the current Harmony profile Spiderplant?
The old remote will work with the new box and vice versa, so I wouldn't expect any need to change your Harmony profile.

Hey listen cool you did work it out better than I did, so what would mean you pay £5 for the sports in HD and a further £7 for UHD

But say you get sky q but you want movies and sports without UHD what then

I feel that is way dearer than sky they offer a box for £99 but £199 is just taking the mick with a £15 a month charge over a year it's £137 dearer than sky, so I'll stick with original slow TiVo for time being. Two boxes will cost me near £300 versus £200 and extra £27 versus £12 a month maybe it is time for sky

Think I'll be switching to Sky Q. Those prices are not good at all.

They never learned anything from the current TiVo. Sky give away boxes free versus £200 forget that, once sky is installed in my close I'm off to sky

Exactly mate the boxes from sky are free as we loan them from sky. We are paying not only £199 to loan a box but a £15 per month fee for that. I'll stay for broadband but the rest goodbye virgin

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

I'm sure the prices will be better at launch, those seem too high. But we don't know what VM's other charges will be before we can judge properly.
