Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Have you also downloaded the Sky+ App for iPad? Such a great app imo, highlights some shows that I would miss otherwise & also shows how great the TiVo app for iPad could be! :)

Wash you mouth out!:mad:

It's a reality show about fish :confused:

Anyhoo, the filter (not the fishtank one) allows the word crap, so I couldn't have been trying to evade it, could I?...;)

You mean makes suggestions?

Wait; Tivo does that, on the box so you don't have to buy an ipad to view them. :D

Wouldnt work to well with TIVO though :D it is good though I use it and the next update turns it into a remote , access your planner and various other cool features :D

It certainly does work well with TiVo in the sense that it highlights great shows that are on in the next day or so which I may otherwise miss, allowing me to then set my TiVo to record them. :)

Yeah sort of but as my TiVo was only installed on Tuesday, it doesn't know me as well as I know myself yet. :D

It's also much more usable to scroll through the guide and see whats on, tapping on a show presents you with some info about the show and also other similar shows that you might like. This and the Sky News app make great use of the iPad in my opinion.

Absolutely - anyoo, "cool" is for people in their 20's, not for "experienced" people like you and I...

Last time I was cool was when I jumped into an outdoor swimming pool in Shropshire in January 1988; cool? - I was a nearly the owner of a couple of ice cubes!:D

But, Tivo automattically records suggestions. But also has a recommend bar (showcase in your terms) running across the top of the menu screen. Also, Tivo is inteligent and learns your preferences.

The browse TV Menu also gives loads of suggestions of shows browseable by genre.

Are you suggesting the Tivo Tivo's recommends don't work? It's made inteligent suggestions for me and I've only had it 4 days.

Sky leave VM standing on HD content, but Tivo leaves Sky standing on functionality ATM (and you don't need to buy an ipad :D).

Also have just been out this afternoon with my partner and her 90 year old Grandmother to watch the football as well. I have to say that We were watching it on SKY and I have to say that the SKY EPG is way behind the TIVO EPG imho:)

That's one dark and creepy victorian drama. I love it. Don't think I would have ventured into the lap dancing bars in them days :)

You go with that if it makes you feel better about moving to sky just before Tivo launched :D

Which things are you refering to that don't work as they should?
