Just wondering if anybody here has a Tivo box? Im trying to workout if its worth me parting with 49 quid to have my V+HD unplugged for me and the Tivo put in its place.. Then paying 3 quid per month extra for it... Is it worth it? From what I can make out I wouldnt get much more from it compared to what the V+HD box already does... Am I missing something, is the Tivo so much more than a V+HD box?

thanks for that link, and oh dear, so it does appear to be a rather crap thing at the moment... I'll stick with my V+HD box then, cause that works...

cwm on guys these boxes are pretty good had one a while now and much better than the vplus imho

the on demand is much faster to load up than the other boxes, and much bigger harddrive to record stuff, and since the last update a lot of probs have been solved

Hi ive had one for a while not really had any problems. And it did not cost me a penny free upgrade and activation + moved my v+ to another room just the £3.00 a month extra.

Oh no, I recently negotiated a new deal with VM to get my cost down, but with improved services... One of the things was my V+HD box being replaced with a Tivo.. Arrrrggggg, I hate the thing... What chance do you think I have with getting VM to give me my V+HD box back but keeping the rest of my deal the same.. I dont think Im going to grow to like this Tivo, its a nightmare to use..
