We are looking at changing from Sky plus to Tivo, price wise its only a few quid a month extra. Just woundering if its worth it? Tivo looks a lot better, but you guys will know if its any good lol.

Tivo wipes the floor with Sky+, however the main thing to think about is really the channel choice rather than the box.
Purely on the box its a no brainer.
Tivo has 3 tuners , loads of features and will alert you to clashes up to 2 weeks before they occur whereas the first notice of a series link clash on Sky+ is usually when you see FAILED on the screen
As long as you don't mind losing the additional HD channels its not hard to see the best deal.
If you are completely new to Virgin you should be able to get a great inroductory deal if you ring them to ask what they can offer to make you switch from Sky
Tivo does have some annoyances with its operating logic but this is with features that Sky+ does not even support
We have virgin internet, phone and a basic package box so well aware of channel choice, but other then losing Atlantic thiers nothing major, and i watch most stuff online
We dont bother with HD so not going to miss them. If i get my way.. we will be getting it, just got to convince my mum, who wouldnt understand half the stuff the tivo box does anyway lol.
Hi
Your page on TiVo is really good, but quite a few of the issues you raised have been resolved in the latest software release.
It's probably worth updating?

I notice that in the pics of the search function results that JethroUK displays there is "Somebody to Love" by Justin Bieber which is a music video!!!
I think its: www.virginmedia.com/sky4
Well spotted - I ripped this particular picture of the web - just because it was there (the rest I took myself of my TV)
Dont think the search feature actually searches Music too - it must be USA version - albeit never tried it/or noticed myself
And in Jethro's Tivo/Sky comparison did you not miss giving a big thumbs up to retrieving deleted programmes or have I missed it? I use that more often than I thought I would!
I do need to include that if I've missed it - i use it lots too
