Virgin media TV box is soooooo bad.

We moved from Sky to Virgin recently and we can't get over how terrible the Virgin TV box is. Menu navigation is painfully slow. The resolution of the menus is low and looks crap too.

I hadn't realised how superior a Sky + box is. Virgin push to be the fastest with Internet and their broadband is brilliant but their TV is offensively bad.

I wish Sky could have provided good broadband in our new address because this is pump!

It's a tivo. Records 3 things at once. I dunno if I'm expecting too much or if it's duff but it's horrendously bad in comparison to sky. Sky's TV guide, it's channel selection and it's interface is just far more responsive and better looking. This tivo makes a stupid beep noose every time you change channel too.

I watch far less tv since getting it because it just frustrates me. Takes forever to come out of standby and be usable too. It has a Netflix channel too which is downright slow as hell.

Well I've cancelled the virgin deal in the cooling off period. Think I will stick with the free view and freesat (my TV has both built in) for a few weeks and see how I get on

Virgin makes up for it with the broadband. Its superior to Sky.

I feel bad putting you off it .

The box is just really clunky to use. Nothing is streamline or fast. It performs like a 10yr old piece of hardware. When I consider how fast Amazon Tv or other little boxes do things, it shocks me how abysmal the Tivo is.
