Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I tested some other recordings last night and this morning and they were all fine so I don't know why the BBC1 recording last night happened unless it was just coincidence that it pixilated at 5 minutes.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Thanks for doing extra testing. Looks like it has been fixed.

PS Sorry about the wrong link which I have now removed.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

OK mines not a pixellation isssue. I'll try to describe it.

I record 2 episodes of Family guy on BBC3 and my recording preferences have a 5 minute overlap in case programmes run long.

As im watching it 'live' when once recording ends and the other begins, there is a pause in transmission and my Virgin TIVO Bar comes on the bottom of the screen.

Someone told me it was because two separate hard drives were being used to record each recording.

Is this right? and does the update fix this?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

That slight issue is still there.

I believe it happens because the TiVo stops buffering the live tuner you are watching to start the recording.

I see it as an inconvenience, rather than a bug, and would think that it is not even being considered as a bug.

It's definitely not a padding issue as I see it despite my default being no padding.

Yeah I see what u mean. I do find it annoying but nothing I can't live with :0
Cheers!

Got an engineer coming out this week to look at my TiVo box, keeps freezing when changing channels. Second box that has had this issue. If engineer says box needs replacing, might see what deal Virgin can do for a 1TB replacement.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I seem to be encountering an issue with series links. I have a series link that shows two consecutive episodes, but for some reason it is only recording one episode, despite it listing both episodes in planned recordings beforehand.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

A couple of reasons spring to mind.

1. Is there going to be 3 higher priority programmes being recorded after that episode? If so, then the episode will be picked up when it is next shown on that channel (so had it if a soap).

2. Has the episode been recorded in the previous 28 days? If so, then it will not record it again. Had that issue with a few of the NCIS LA episodes last few days.

3. Does the episode have the same series/episode number as the first show? I had a show the other week that displayed S01 E04 for both episodes so only the first is recorded.

Just a few suggestions as to what it could be, from my experience anyway.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

The answer is no to all three questions. I have noticed that Virgin's numbering of certain episodes is off from time to time, but that wasn't the case today.

It really is odd.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Look in Recording Hiccups. It will tell you why something is not recorded.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

It says it was no longer in the guide. It was definitely there, as I watched it. I guess it was some sort of TiVo fault.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Yes, that's a known software fault. It's fixed in the forthcoming update.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Tonight our Tivo box recorded Human Universe 4 times in one go. On one, the green bar only showed 5 minutes, but the whole programme could be played, but not fast forwarded.

The hard drive is 90%+ full.

Sunday Supplement also records repeats which we have to delete.

Any ideas what's happening, or how to correct?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Anyone know if the full roll out of the new software has started or are they still monitoring the trial areas?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

It is still in trial.
