Virgin Tivo box

Anyone any experience in this box? I upgraded last week and it will be getting fitted next week.

They were also upgrading my internet, claiming I download on average 450GB of content a month, which was a lot. I had to be honest and claim that I was illegally downloading movies, and that I would no longer need to bother now that I'm upgrading back to the full movie/sports etc. Now that I have money again

I've had the 1TB TiVo box since February 2011 and it's been absolutely fine. On reading the TiVo forums it seems the 500GB model has some problems.

Check out Virgin's own forum for more info http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/TiVo/bd-p/Tivo

Why would you admit this to anyone without being prompted? Or are you saying this is the reason you gave for not upgrading your internet speed?

I will probably get the 500GB I would assume.

Well I cancelled the movies and sports when my salary had to take a hit, and made some cut backs, and to go was the sports and movies. I had already upped my internet speed to 20 but needed it for company network and software I used before the company were ramping down. Since I had a decent bandwidth I thought I may as well download for the time being and when I find other work, I will re-join, which is what I did.

The women made the statement of how my internet downloads were so high, that they were averaging around 450GB a month and that it was a lot, and that Virgin were changing to 60 in the next few months. First, I thought that she was trying to sell me it, so I told her why I use the 20 and that I'll not need to anymore since I have and paying for the movies
