The USB port is not customer useable!

Good luck and enjoy your TiVo!:)

A single tick means that show is scheduled for recording. Sometimes if you select a show for recording and subsequently select a series link, the first scheduled show will only show a tick but if you scroll down you should see the next episode will have the multi circle "R". It seems to be one of the many quirks of the TiVo.:)

Thanks.

I saw a prog was on MTVHD called "Pearl Jam : Austin". So set a wishlist with the keywords "Pearl Jam". But it hasnt found it. Any reason why?

Currently watching one recording while recording three, two of which were spot-on suggestions, MUAHAHAHA! :D

I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. ;)

I don't know. It works for me. How many days EPG data have you got?

There are many strenghs the tivo has but a weakness at the moment is that it has no interactive features and that needs to improve.

Mine was like that for a few days after installation but now it works as you would expect. Pressing stop, stops the playback. It seems like the TiVo really does take a week to settle down.:)

Any + or ""?

Watch out your bills this month, the £40 installer fee has not been credited back on my account and my May bill has now been posted on my account with no credit. Rang up VM and they will be addressing but could catch out others? I pay by monthly DD by the way.

Just checked my online bill for next month -the credit has been applied.

I discovered yesterday that Tivo does tag on any part of a programme it has on a tuner recording a channel continuously if you watch a programme and then decide to record it part way through. Very nice! Watched a programme for 15 minutes then decided to record the rest and found out next day that it has recorded the time I had watched it.

I got the £40 credited to my account but have been charged the £3 monthly TiVo fee, even though I'm on VIP50 and shouldn't pay it! Phoned yesterday, spent ages on the phone. The person I spoke to couldn't work out what was going on so referred it to a manager. Been told it'll be sorted out. Fingers crossed it does and I'm billed correctly next month but I'm not holding my breath. :erm:
