Re slow Tivo boxes, the advice I got was


1. Press Home

2. On the home screen, in quick succession, press Thumbs Down, Thumbs Up, Play, Play


The screen should go black and it clears the Tivo caches - can take 20s or so. For me it resulted in a small improvement, but the Tivo still crawls (but it always has).

I rang up, and pressed the "If you are thinking of leaving us" option. Told the guy I wasn't happy with the price rise. He said my package was ?38.60 a month and he could offer me ?29 a month for six months, then ?32 for the next 11 months so long I took a new 12 month contract.

I'm just about to reduce my Virgin subscription to BB only.

The extra you pay for TV channels is a lot for what you actually get, the few times I get a chance to actually scan the channels offered I'm astonishd how much shite is available (let alone why someone would actual think-up, fund and produce that drivel).

Haven't used landline for a phone call in 5yrs, don't even have such a device plugged-in.

I did talk to Plusnet about BB only, but they want to provide the BB while YOU sort out the phone line separately which to me (having to involve 2x providers) is asking for trouble.

To back-up the Virgin BB service being intermittent, I have a high monthly data subscription on my mobile phone to so I can definitely work from home when opportunity arises.

So they get you either way.

Could you say which package you're on. Is it BB only?

Could you say what the Mb/s is with your package for BB?


The reason I ask is that I have very recently agreed a new one year contract for 50Mb/s BB only for ?22.25 Per Month for six months then ?25.25 for the remainder of the contract period.


Just wondering how that compares to yourself and others?

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
