If it works how mine has been doing when you switch the TV off it will revert back to 720p.

Network "Loading Info" still stuck at 99% after 5 hours. Has it stalled? Can I prompt it to complete or is this normal? Epg still only 24 hours ahead.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

How can you specify what channels the tuners are buffering on?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Just had my Tivo installed this morning what can l say except that its in a whole new world compared to my V plus as everything is much faster and smoother and there are many more options.
l have also been using the youtube app which is superb watching certain clips but my only problem is trying to sign in to it in which it says l have the wrong username or password but l have checked that l am signing in but it still seems to be saying that my username or pasword is wrong. any answers for this.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

It seems to show recordings, followed by the last channel you were watching.

So if you want to buffer say 101, and 102, select channel 101, switch channels to 102 etc., so both tuners will buffer. First buffer will then be superceded if recording space is needed.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Interesting, please post on the picture quality after the repull.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Seems to be a general problem. Another 'to be looked at' feature

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

There does seem to be a few of them , hope they sort it for you all :D

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Can anyone confirm this? I dont want to call the sales people unless I have some concrete infomation.

I dont understand who gets the calls? Is it just VIP or totally random? If its random it dosent make sense at all!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

VM Engineer (Paul) turned up around 4.. had a few problems due to the pairing of the box and the card (which meant it couldn't connect to the TiVo servers), but a phone call to HQ from him resolved that. While chatting to him told him that I was wanting to go to VIP50 but that the VM systems don't allow more than one install to be outstanding.. so he nipped out to his van, grabbed a SuperHub, and once the TiVo install was complete he phoned up, made sure I got the right price for VIP50 (VIP50 for less than I was paying for VIP20+Premium HD... not bad at all), confirmed with me that it was exactly what I wanted, and took me through activation for the modem.

Levels were slightly too high on install (although return path was spot on, apparently), so he installed a filter before my CM/TiVo splitter, and everything is is working perfectly. Currently getting 50Mbps download on my SuperHub.

I wasn't so bothered about keeping the V+ (I had an old PACE box as part of my VIP20 package, but as I only have the one TV it just sat in a box in my bedroom), but he said I might as well keep the V+ and let him take the PACE box away seeing as I knew it worked, and it'd be a good backup.

Basically, the engineer did a top job, was pleasant and knew his stuff, and went out of his way to help me get updated to VIP50 without having to take more time off work. I'm extremely impressed with him, and the manner he represented VM, and I hope I get the opportunity to tell VM this in future.

:) :clap:

Nice to hear.

Why not just send a letter and thank them. I'm sure one of the staff members here could point you in the right direction of the 'compliments' department (if it exists lol)!

It always amazes me when you write a letter to a company praising service. They're always astounded!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

VM engineer came just before 3pm today, did not leave until nearly 5pm. He was really cheerful, though things where not going according to plan. First box he tried did not want to work, he phoned the TiVo team they said it was broken, so he went and got another box. Had a few problems, one being it would not get a Network address and the other being something to do with the card not having any credit on it.
He changed the card, and everything seemed to come through then. He also told me that he could not leave the V+ box as it was an older one and had to be changed for a Samsung V+ , which of course I was not going to complain about. :) At last look all services are working on the V+ box
Have not had chance to really play much yet with the TiVo, but all is looking good.
One thing strange though, I mentioned that the catch up TV was apparently not working correct. He looked at the menu picked a catchup program and it went straight to it, but it is not working for me. LOL

Try holding the text button down.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

cheer for the advice guys. Changed the code to another and back to 0039 now all functions work fine I'm loving the ability to turn off the tv at the box with one button!

by the way, does anyone have channel logos on their guide or on the my shows screen? I thought they would be there but none as yet for me?
