Get the Tivo OS onto Virgin Media's 'V+ Box' DVR

We don't even have cable in my town and there are no plans in the foreseeable future but I have signed just because Tivo on any platform in the UK will bode well for the future!

 

I can't get cable. However, I could take a five minute walk from my home in any direction and be in (ex) telewest area. I'm in rented accommodation and would move to the next street for a series 3

 

Signed. Worth a shot anyway. Thanks Carl.

Carl,

I think you've done a good job on the intro. I have signed & added a comment to the effect that I am a Sky customer but would sign up with Virgin immediately. Assuming they upgrade the Anolog cable here at the mo!!!

Carl.

I am sadly moving into a non cabled area, they have cable about 100 yards down the road??

Are the cable people planning any expansion at all do you know???

 

signed - and good luck

 

Problem is though I have a cable socket in my house I truly hate them (Virgin, formerly NTL, formerly CableTel. Same lot throughout who've changed names and bought other companies along the way).

I really couldn't stand to have them screw things up yet again costing me a small fortune, just for the possibility of TiVo.

Oh well, may sign anyway but I can't see me ever getting it if by some miracle it happens (surely they're way too far down the road with their own solution now anyway though?).

6022tivo - as for expansion, cable companies are mainly looking at IPTV solutions over ADSL to expand. They will never get cable everywhere and most councils won't let them dig up the roads to do it anyway. Mind you if they say it's not cabled but you are near a cabled area you might want to pester them, especially if it's a former NTL area as it's possible their records are wrong (they flat refused to believe my address was cabled even though my neighbours all had it. They just had the wrong records but effectively told me to get lost. Foolishly I persisted and got cable and then my problems began... but that's another story).

 

Great idea.

Signed.

 

I have signed too.

How will Virgin get to know about this Petition?

Lee.

 

Signed, news item added to my website here, and all customers emailed

 

Signed..... just need them to cable my street now !!!!

Do you have to make a donation before you can sign the petition?

No, it askes you afterwards.

 

Bloody hell, i went back to check to see how the petition was doing and it was on 2 pages at 89, no-where near enough to be taken seriously I suspect yet but not bad going in a short period of time. It even went up to 92 whilst I was looking.

I think we need to get the link posted in as many places as possible.

 

Okay, just added it as a sticky to all my forums.

 

What about a posting in the other place?
