Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence, both here and on DS, that the initial speed gains found by most immediately after the update have disappeared and in some cases got worse. Certainly when I first received the update it was rapid, but it's slowed down to the point of almost ignoring me today. Is that something that's been noticed? Is it a case of having to let everything settle, or is it not as big an issue as the forums suggest?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

It isn't a known issue, if that's what you mean. I haven't had any reports except those I've read here. There are enough here to concern me, though.

No "settling" is required as far as I'm aware.

Pressing 'Home' leaves me with a black screen for 3/4 seconds befor an unpopulated Home screen appears. If I then choose an option I again get a black screen delay before an unpopulated screen appears. Not much of a delay at each stage but enough when added togather to be irritating.

The same thing happens if I go direct to 'My Shows' though there is very little delay in either case once I actually choose a recorded program from those shown.

So its not my imagination, Tivo is a lot slower. Makes my V+ look slick !

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I would not say mine has got much slower, but it is certainly not any quicker than it was before the update.

If it is not a known problem at VMHQ SP, who should we be raising this with?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Me. See post #2231.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Have only noticed the occasional slowdown myself on both of our boxes. Two pointers that may make a difference, one being that the green street cabinet is just over the road from our house and the second that both boxes are set to sleep in the energy saving menu.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Okay, clearly missed that one. Please consider my experience of the update raised. No problem with the colour scheme, but the increased speeds would have been nice.

Thanks for taking the time to pass on my comments.:tu:

Just took 2mins 02s to load up Netflix to be useable, below is link to the video.

Never used to take that long, perhaps a minute or more though.

Will try capture a few more of the TiVo screens, but going into Home > On Demand or Search & Discover has been pretty slow of late.

Reboot fixes it for a day or so, but then back to a good 4 or 5 seconds usually between screens.

TV On Demand, this was just after a re-boot

A new TiVo app -Worldbox- is coming soon to channel 834. It will allow the viewing of international channels and programming.

Cool....I hope my Indonesian wife will be able to watch channels from her country

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

This is exactly what I am experiencing on my TiVo since the update. Apart from the general slowdown it makes using Netflix a real pain. I'm considering cancelling - not because of the Netflix content, merely because of the difficulty of access.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Well something weird happened here.

I think when the TiVo update went through it may have been a bit messy resolution wise. The text was quite thin and the purple wasn't as "plum" as pictured. Yesterday I turned the TiVo on and it was as the preview pictures and the Font was much clearer.

I checked the resolution settings and indeed it was on 1080i (I hadn't changed it) so am I dreaming or did it really change on it's own?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Well with the price rise and the fact I could probably draw the menus on the screen faster than my Tivo, seriously considering dropping the TV for a Freeview box. Sorry virgin, but you have balked the Tivo box.

Last night it took over 30 seconds to start playing something in My Shows, I get the feeling it is checking everything against a server before doing anything.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Wow that sounds very cool. Anymore info on this?
