Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Just checked again, Monday is slightly better, but still out.
Today is the same as the Radio Times, so perhaps it's a settling down thing ?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Is there a way to get program info without having to go into the full guide?

The OK button three channel mini guide is great but the info button does nothing when you press it.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yes, annoying isn't it :( This issue is due to be fixed in the next round of upgrades.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Press the ok button in the mini guide to get the info and rec for a show that is already on.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

To clarify, pressing OK will simply change the channel on one of the tuners to that channel. You can then either press "Info" or "Record".

I am on the installation list for this week........ standing by!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

The article compares TiVo with Apple TV, Roku, Boxee and Google TV. Minus Google TV when your with a certain provider none of those actually provide live TV so the article is comparing features on products that are just streaming boxes and cannot actually view live TV. Then it mentions not having a good enough UI which is the same arguement, you need to easily navigate around streamed or stored content, you don't need to for Live TV.

DNLA support would be great eliminating the need for a second box or having a 'flash' TV, but the rest of the article is just pointless filler.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I disagree there are many decent suggestions , cloud storage is an interesting idea and as you say DLNA would be a good idea.

Good Luck Doug!:)

Let us know how you get on with your new Tivo.:D

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I am due to have TiVo installed tomorrow (wed)

Last night (mon) while watching a recording my SA V+ left the recording and went to live tv, since then that's all it will do.
It will not show the programme guide or recordings or any V+ features (it will show the mini guide) it will not go into standby via remote or box. After speaking to three different 'faults' people last night and more this morning I am being told that my V+ service has been switched off so that it can be put onto the TiVo (remember I have not got it yet) CS say that it would be possible to reactivate my V+ but this would wipe recordings and more importantly stop my TiVo installation taking place tomorrow.
This seems crazy to me for two main reasons.
1. If only the V+ services have been deactivated why won't the box show the tv guide or go into standby?
2. I was 'phoned last week and told I could keep the V+ for another room free of charge. (the goodwill call)
Also why turn off one service before receiving the upgrade to another?
Comments welcome, hopefully some from DF and MB too.
