Hi Karl,

Welcome to the list - you have started with a bit of an obstacle
though !

You may well find a few issues with your current MAC/VM setup -
inparticular with the binding of the xAP applications to the virtualised
network adaptors .   It may work but I suspect more likely it won't, you
may be able to tweak the apps a bit but not sure on that.   However when
you move to a PC install I believe all those apps should work fine
together.    I haven't used the Tivo application for a long while but I
don't think much has changed in terms of software updates from Sky/Tivo
either - not even sure they are fully delivering the service anymore are
they - I read something about Tivo suggestions failing ?  I am not sure
exactly which app the mi4 test message sender is but as it's such a
basic function I doubt you'll hit any issues with that.

Cheers K
