They are working with the BBC at the moment so that they will be able to have all the content in the EPG, So that is why at the moment it is not available in the EPG.
I posted this before in the thread!

On the day of installation I noticed that the EPG was incomplete - it only went backwards an hour or two. I'll check later on today and see if it goes back further. I hope it does speed up as I am starting to find it annoying.

Another thing that was disappointing was the lack of audio connectivity at the back of the TiVo. The initial set up was without sound as none of my connections fitted the sole audio socket on the TiVo. It took a phone call to Bang & Olufsen to find a workaround. I now have my picture via the HDMI lead and my sound via a SCART lead. Whenever I switch on I get no picture but an error message to unplug either the HDMI or the SCART until I juggle with some buttons on the remote after which it behaves normally. This is another niggle and something VM and TiVo should have foreseen.

BTW, according to Bang & Olufsen, none of their TVs come with the optical audio connection used on the TiVo.

Wow really?? Even my 4 year old Samsung has a TOSLINK and of course my AV Amp. Does it not support audio over HDMI ether?

Devil, does your backwards EPG take you directly to the program you select in catch-up and not just to the main catch-up menu? I know it should!

Also can you get to catch-up from a search result? Seems odd I can't.

My B&O TV is quite new and even the most up to date TVs from them do not have the optical audio. All I can say is that Bang & Olufsen must be doing something right as my set gives me a superb picture and superb sound even with the odd set up.

I would like to know this two, although I find it hard to believe that is the case the V+ does and I have not read this in any other review.

Just call CS to get confirmation that my install is happening today and it is so off to program the Harmony for the Tivo.

Yes ring cs Murk. If you get no satisfaction ring retentions as they seem to be able to knock heads together and get things sorted.

Well done VM you have made for for everything and to everyone waiting you wont be disappointed.
So it was only a fiasco until you got your install sorted? That's an odd attitude, isn't it?

Yes, I know that's not exactly what you posted but my point is that it hasn't really been "a fiasco" at all. They simply had far more pre-reg's than expected; at which point, maybe things got little hairy is all.

I'm out at the moment will check when I get back in and let you know?

I think some programmes are directly linked from the "past" EPG but not all. I will also have a play later.

Keep trying Murk. as I posted earlier, it does depend on which operator you get. If you're not satisfied ask to speak to their manager

Good luck

He should be disciplined. I wouldn't have thought any VM employee hadn't heard of tivo by now. Certainly none of the ones I have spoken to getting my install sorted. Ring up retentions now and they should sort it. Assuming that they are open on Saturdays.

Does anyone know which button on the code for the CT8685 corresponds with Home key, have found some nice short cuts at the Tivo Community forum that I would like to set up:

Home+Home : My recordings (now playing)
Home+1 : Manage series links
Home+2 : Planned recordings (todo list)
Home+3 : Wishlists
Home+4 : Search all TV
Home+5 : Browse all TV


All times are GMT +1. The time now is 19:34.
