Mrs Blood tells me that Newcastle is indeed now purple

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

It has now :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I like it, but had to tweak some of the options as the screen was too cluttered.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

That's a bit uncharitable, Mad Max! The fact that the EPG doesn't jump back to today after modifying a recording, the addition of the 'partly watched' list and categorisations of programmes under 'My Shows' for example have made a significant difference for the better, IMO.

I'm not bothered about losing that brothel red background and the speed seems to vary according to where you live.

I agree that there are still improvements to be made, but it is not true to say there's no improvement with this update. I am pleased with it, as far as it goes.

Hopefully, your problems will be short lived. :)

The part in bold is just, well, garbage Old Boy :D The amount of money I pay each month to Virgin is definitely charitable :2cents: but it's still my opinion that it could and should have been better, for me, that just hasn't happened.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Ah, I agree with you that it should have been better!

I was only pointing out that there had been improvements, and as you know, I tend to hug the life out of any good news because it's so rare! :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I have to say there's a part of me, knowing that TIVO is a superior bit of kit to Sky's box and most of the Freeview boxes, that wants to know why TIVO is so much slower at Menu's, changing channels etc.

I realise that if it's more advanced it has more to do but that excuse only goes so far.

Could Ben or Spider enlighten us :)

We do have to remember there is also the transport medium / technology to take into account.

The hardware we have is now quite a few years old so it is hardly surprising it is showing it's age.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Looking forward to getting the update in Croydon area, as is my daughter. Her favourite colour is purple!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

got update :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Woohoo! Just turned on the TV here in Poole and found it on the VM preview channel so got hopeful (it only seems to do that on big updates), switched to Home and we are purple! Just off to have a play with it.

The red bar is really jarring against the purple. It's a minor detail in the midst of a massive overhauls, but I can't remember if I've read this is staying or will be altered later?

Happy day

(How sad is my life that this makes me so happy)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

It's a shame they didn't give you the choice of more categories for the left column of My Shows. It means unless you have kids and watch a lot of sport, it's a step backwards.

If they had given you the choice of any of the eleven categories you get in the TV guide it would have been great. I would have liked HD, Documentaries and Radio in my left column. The Kids, TV and Radio(exlcuding Kids) and Sport categories are pointless for me. So all I get is more cluttered screen and no real advantages.
