Virgin Tivo and Netflix?

[craig_t]

Does anyone else use their Tivo box for netflix? Is it very slow at loading and responding, or is there an issue with mine?

Hmm maybe I'll give them a call and ask if there is anything that can be done.

Yep occasionally and its normal.

The tivo uses a separate internet connection which is quite low I think, and when you add the in the crappy internals of the tivo box......

I find it slow to enter netflix and browse but its fine when it streams something.

I mainly use my Amazon fire tv box which is speedy.

My TV app can't choose the user so as I am not the default user it goes to the wrong one, otherwise I'd use that.

If I have it plugged in VIA ethernet, should it be faster?

No I mean the Tivo box plugged in. You said Tivo uses it's own connection which is slow. So, if I have it plugged into my router directly, should Netflix be quicker?

I use a Chromecast in my bedroom, to cast plex to as the plex app on my Hisense TV needs a plex pass to play things. But, the TV app for netflix works great.

My LG TV the app would be great if you could change user on it, so was just using the tivo instead but if I need a second chromecast, or firestick then I will do that
