Default Virgin Cable - go to SH3 in modem mode or stay with SH in modemmode?

I am upgrading my Tivo to the latest model.

The pack includes an SH3 (I assume put in there automatically because I
still have the original SH).

Allegedly the SH maxes out at 160 Mb/sec (seems reasonable, it provides
that speed now) but the SH3 can go to 200 Mb/sec (within the package
I pay
for) or even 300 Mb/sec should I feel the need to burn money.

I know that there are known issues with the Intel Puma 6 chipset in the
SH3.

Argh! Initial research has pointed me to this class action suit which
names Arris. Who make the new(ish) Virgin TV V6 box.

Murphy's law may be about to rear its ugly head.

Anyhoo - anyone running the SH3 in modem mode without any problems at
speeds up to 200 Mb/sec?

I have a SH3 (assuming that's the latest) in modem mode on 100MBit (I
think) and a V6 box, it is all fine. Had problems at setup due to the
engineer not activating the Tivo services on my account properly, but
once that was sorted, it's been fine.


Can I ask you if, when you put the HUB3 into modem mode, were you able
to get back into it by its' new IP address: 192.168.100.1
I have tried it and when I try to configure my new cable router, it says
that there is a conflict of ip addresses, ie 192.168.0.1. This is for
the new cable router, but because the HUB3 has the same ip 192.168.0.1 ,
there is a conflict, and the HUB 3 hasn't changed its' ip address.

I think so, though it has to be said the first time I tried it seemed to
get stuck halfway through making the change. I power-cycled and tried
again. I'll check it later and post my findings.
