Tivo V6 Replacement

PO1981
Joining in

Good Afternoon,

As part of a contract renegotiation last week I mentioned that my 1st generation Tivo box in the bedroom was becoming increasingly noisy, slow to respond and occasionally can get a bit on the warm side.  The CS Advisor agreed and after the new contract was sorted I was then transferred over to faults, where I gave details of the serial number, description of fault and most importantly, the need for any replacement to be Tivo to ensure compatibility with the other two v6 boxes.

This was last week and still no sign of a replacement Tivo box yet.  Is it possible to check whether the replacement was indeed actioned...?

Cheers

Paul

Faults are usually followed up by a tech visit who will replace any kit they deem faulty.

I suspect reporting the fault again, will be the best way to go - if no tech appointments are showing in your online account.

Although, in fairness, slow-running probably isn't a fault with the TiVo - it is how the boxes are these days!

The technician will confirm during their visit if any of these instances apply, and if so, a £25 charge will be applied to your account.
Please ensure that someone over the age of 18 is at the property for the time the engineer is there.

An update.  New v6 box installed by the friendly VM Engineer tonight in no time at all.  Everything up and running and most importantly quietly...
