Thanks I miss V+HD the box looked so much nicer but I'm hooked on the new TiVo features why can't virgin bring out a TiVo that looks like V+ with numbers on the front as well
@DrSteveHolt usb is for external harddrives for recording movie tv shows but virgin haven't enabled this due to copyright complaints from broadcasters. Ethernet is for connecting to a modem instead of having 2 seperate cables as some engineers prefer to do that depending on drilling through walls etc.
after being with Virgin for so many years I have now finally decided to get rid, O2 Telefonica are installing new phone line and home broadband on thursday and Sky are installing on Friday got a good deal from both £24.00 for internet and phone from O2 free installation plus £5 a month discount for having mobile service and sky free instal £50 credit on to account HD Sky + box free. Sorry Virgin but too over priced.
@so154jg I have M+ TV, L broadband & XL Phone. We never have any problems and broadband is very fast. I think your PC/Mac might not be set up to conect properly. Also it ain't that expensive.

What are load times on the box like compared to SKY, they look horribly long just like the original box I have and a horrible user interface compared to SKY.

BTW, You need to set your video settings on the box to 1080i Wide not 1080i

@BestM8ts12 Yes, it's slightly faster. It had a problem a month ago with the recording tuner, but a software update fixed it.
