Default Repairing a Freeview box (was Freeview STBs and TiVo)

Unfortunately Thomson, the manufacturer quit any type of support a long
long time ago.


Support from them when they were still flogging the machines was pretty
crap IME...

Having said that, given the age of my TiVo, I'm amazed that I get any
support at all. ;-)


I'm amazed there are still TiVo users here - I was begining to think I was
the only one left ;-)

Really wishing I'd paid the lifetime though....

Talking of TiVo, mine is beginning to get sick (bubbling mud in quiet parts
and disk whine). While I'm sure it could be repaired I'm pondering giving
up and jumping to Virgin Media V+

Anyone here got experience of V+ box? People complain it's slow to change
channel but I'm used to TiVo controlling Skybox so...
