Tivo to V6 upgrade

I've just received a V6 box as my Tivo box has failed and screenshot below is part of the instructions I got but they are wrong as "Manage My Tivo +" just isn't there.  (How can Virginmedia be so crap giving out these instructions? What does it take to give your customer correct information about your own products?)

Anyway, I googled ways of doing this and found another Virginmedia site/link it it doesn't work now either.

So my question is, how do I get my series links transferred to another box?  Is there a working site I can go to as I think there is a time limit of around 14 days and after that the info will be gone for good.

Thanks in advance for any help

    Short answer. No, there isn't.

    The copy settings facility was very buggy & temperamental, so was removed several years ago. It does not surprise me the instructions & webpages are still there, as is a load of other out of date content.

  • Hey murof, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

    As mentioned its not possible to transfer series links you would need to set them up again sorry.

    Any recordings would also be lost.

    yes I needed this facility recently.. I did not screen shot my 200+ series links and I am still missing ones and shows every now and then 😞 it used to be really useful and never did I get a bug with it either 😞
