I have posted about the Tivo before. After my old PACE box stopped responding to the IR wand I ended up getting a V+ box. This is a truly, diabolically, bad device. Extraordinarily, the responsiveness to the menu is can be measured in minutes, so it is totally unusable as a PVR, but it does, more or less, function as a STB.
Unfortunately the V+ box, which appears to be manufactured by Scientific Atlanta, will not respond to any of the codes listed under Scientific Atlanta in the Tivo setup screens.
Amazingly, though, the V+ box does emulate the Pace 4000 device. Somehow I discovered this from the Tivo Portal page below. I can't find the exact place now, so I'm creating this page in the internet to help others out there who might have the combination of Tivo and Virgin V+ set top box.
After sitting under my TV for a couple of months the Tivo has suddenly returned to full utility. I'm very glad my lifetime subscription is still running.
