Yes it's good, apart from the suggested recordings of things you may like, will probably never have recorded anything you like!

Also you cannot set a reminder which I do miss, but there will be a patch to update that soon.
I think virgin media forgot about that function as they were too excited about everything else!

I use YouTube on there ALOT! It's a great feature.

Hope you have fun

It's great, but the only downer for me is that you cannot access the BBC red button services, so no F1 Forum or practices.

Yep. Have this. Not too bad to be honest. As said, No program reminder like on the V+ Box which we also have. "Suggested" Recordings can be naff at times though

Whats the cost for the new TiVO box?
I currently have the V+ HD box on the XL package, just wondering what the difference is in terms of cost?

I paid £149 for it when it first came out a couple of months ago. Now Virgin have given me £50 back as they have dropped the price to £99

Not overly impressed with it to be honest. Had it about 2 months now and still find the interface pretty annoying and not that user friendly. i.e. Still not managed to find out how to set favourites. If worst comes to the worst I'm going to have to end up reading the instructions!!!

I also find it a pain having to log into my youtube account time after time and it doesn't even seem to have any of my favourites stored in there either. Setting favourites from the Tivo box just doesn't work.

Give me back my Dbox any day :-)
