Embarrassed much

I mentioned it off the back of his comment that the system was "far from perfect". Well, the first time you miss the reminder you will be thankful for this "less than perfect" system.

As do all recordings. See? Redundant :)

Very true Carl. I set a remind for the local news tonight. Went upstairs and forgot about it. But thank God its record so will set down next week and watch it :dozey: :rolleyes:

Or later tonight even :rolleyes:

Re: TiVo Update Coming! 13-24th August - Just got a message on my box
 

Well it is "far from perfect". It would be "perfect" for me if it met 'my requirements' not yours.

Re: TiVo Update Coming! 13-24th August - Just got a message on my box
 

I will ignore this clear baiting.

RE: "Well, the first time you miss the reminder you will be thankful for this "less than perfect" sysytem.

Carl, please read my post again. Its very rude that you just ignore the bulk of my post. Mainly the part where I agree with record and remind function. The part in brackets being more relevant now.

"I think, if you actually took the time to read other peoples posts (rather than just blurt out random, irrelevant opinions) you will find that, whilst I do not find reminders are perfect I am happy to have them back. This includes the remind and record option (even though a change channel at start option would be nicer)"

I have made it bold, itallic and also underlined so its easier to see!!!!

Cheers

Wow, you even have the temerity to tell people when to watch their recorded programs.:wtf: Unbelievable!

Re: TiVo Update Coming! 13-24th August - Just got a message on my box
 

Which would we what? Remind and change channel? Well, it does that, doesn't it? Seeing as it needs a tuner anyway, for you to watch the show, why not have recorded anyway, just in case?

Of course, if you're going to do that then the reminder itself does become a little redundant as you're sat in front of the TV anyway so could just watch the recording as it starts :)

Well if you'd rather not discuss it then that kinda defeats the object of posting on a message/discussion board such as this, doesn't it?

I only tend to quote back the bits of a post I want to reply to. If nothing else it makes posts shorter and easier to read.

I hate it when people quote back whole posts then just add "me too" at the bottom. (Okay, an extreme example I know, but you see my point I hope.)

Erm... no. . "Whoareyou" made a very sarcastic remark (hence the ":rolleyes:") which I answered in a similar vein.

You really need to work on your English comprehension and/or forum etiquette.

Well I've been 'updated'. Can only tell because TIVO Commander no longer works - apart from that diddly squat difference. Same poor SD picture quality and same crappy iPlayer app. Vm always were better at making things not work than work.

As for reminders - they're pointless if you have TiVo. Waste of time and effort that should have been directed at other things.

[QUOTE=Mr K;35464289] Same poor SD picture quality...[/quote
Of course it's a subjective point but I am quite happy with the SD PQ. (Except on 5* but that's the broadcaster's fault and not VMs :))

And, again, the iPlayer app is the BBC's and not VMs

So you're 0 for 2 so far. Care to try again ;)

Re: TiVo Update Coming! 13-24th August - Just got a message on my box
 

Oh dear not another one who seems self obsessed with moaning about reminders.:rolleyes:

Re: TiVo Update Coming! 13-24th August - Just got a message on my box
 

OK, I understand the arguement of 'if you've got three recordings planned then the reminder won't work', but surely that would be the case regardless of whether the reminded prog is to be recorded or not. I think an option to just change the channel without recording could have been offered alongside recording.

I spent today at home, and enjoyed the new feature of being able to set various reminders to give me some background company, but then I've just had to waste my precious time deleting all the unwanted recordings - mainly because as the Tivo is approx 85% full and default setting on 'normal' recordings is not keep until I delete the Tivo will delete my older wanted recordings off it's own back before my unwanted reminder recordings. So Tivo is not saving me the one thing I never have enough of - time. How can this situation be a step forward Carl?

Cheers

Just can't see the point when the 'philosophy' of TiVo is to watch what you want when you want - making schedules irrelevant. Each to their own i suppose, I never used them on V+ either... However it's disappointing if providing this gimmick has held up other much needed improvements.

Re: TiVo Update Coming! 13-24th August - Just got a message on my box
 

Yawn. I will reply to this one and leave it at that. I will welcome your comments though.

Point 1 LOL. I some what flippantly asked you to prove a statement. You ignored it. So I refer your point back to you. Prove reminders are redundant!!!

Point 2 You completely ignored the fact that I agree with remind and record and tried to imply I did not on two separate occasions. You simply choose to highlight points to incite baiting. (Shame on me for joining in) The second line I simply don't agree with. Do you see what I did there? I acknowledged what you wrote. Try it one day, you might like it.

Point 3 - You are right, I did not look at his smilies properly. And once again, you try the baiting. I am happy with my understand of English, thanks for the advice though. As for etiquette, have a word with whoever designed or allowed the WTF smilie on the site.

I welcome your reply (it's clear you like to have the final word on EVERYTHING), but I am moving on from this.

Mods, if this crosses a line I apologize on advance!

What gives you the impression that other developments have been held up because of the implementation of remimders Mr K?.:)
