Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 3

They generally show 3 or 4 back to back during the day, so if you have it set to new and re-runs you will get the repeats. I have it set to new only, as I am missing the XL pack already and cannot bear to watch NCIS and NCIS LA in SD.

Should it happen at all?

As far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything. Even if it is making a network connection once an hour, that's negligible compared with other stuff that's happening in the background.

Is it the cause of variable UK TiVo performance?

No.

The recording was the actual show, then 2 hours of whatever was on after it. :confused:

Ah, sounds like either a bug or some duff info in the guide.

To be perfectly honest there was a heralding of the new update by Virgin that the TiVo would be much much faster when we got the update but sadly it seems that the TiVo has got slower since the update in many of its functions.

When I first used the TIVO after the update, it seemed much quicker. But shortly afterwards it got slower and now there is quite a gap (of about 5 seconds) between menus.

Yup, that sums it up for me too, this was hailed as a very big improvement to TiVo, maybe that should read failed :td:

Somehow, I don't think this was the TIVO's fault - more like the programming behind the patches :rolleyes:

Black screens between menu selections are very disconcerting, as is the lag between a button press and something actually happening.

We need a new TiVo box. The current one has been out for years and its performance especially is just not what today's users expect from their devices. Screens need to change and apps need to load almost instantaneously. Ideally, any such upgrade will come with support for tablets, phones and near dumb STBs that can connect to the TiVo for recordings, on demand and live shows, I.e. The Roamio Pro, plus Mini.

I've just about given up on using Virgin in other rooms. So often what we want to watch is recorded or on demand and I'm not having a 2nd full TiVo, yes because it's OTT, but mainly because of the fan. Freeview, with Chromecast fills in instead. A TiVO Mini I probably would get.
