The problem is, you can't rely on opinion. Many people buy a TV from a shop and leave it on the default colour settings. Usually, that defaults to something like 'Vivid' so that it looks good under shop lighting conditions. They leave it on that and think it looks wonderfull under normal lighting conditions.

I'm glad they've found a specific fault rather than relying on subjective opinion.

Re: My experience with Tivo
 
My general experience with TiVo is great!

Don't like the fact that the info button doesn't work on the three channel preview, but no biggy.

My box is currently at 37% full (1TB), the red circle comes up now and then, but its generally pretty responsive.

I'd like to be able to delete a whole folder rather than all the programs in the folder if I want to, and maybe that will come in time.

Picture quality is great in both SD and HD....and now I get proper dolby surround sound in HD through my AV kit, awesome.

You can do so right now. Just press "clear" (bottom left) on the folder itself ;) (Is is just me or is that not completely obvious? :confused:)

However, be aware that this does compeltely destroy the folder structure which cannot be un-deleted so you will find only the individual programmes in the 'recently deleted' folder :)

The difference with the Tivo implementation was that the vast majority of new customers already had their TV and a V+, so either the V+ was so good at upscaling the SD picture so that default settings didn't really matter (give the V+ credit for that as it was a great box for PQ for me), or there was a problem with the Tivo output which for some could clearly be seen as soon as the V+ was swapped out for a Tivo.

I noticed it immediately the Tivo picture appeared (I have a Sony KDL40HX803 TV with settings changed to optimise PQ to my liking), others never saw an issue versus the PQ they had before.

At least there is a fix coming now so we can move on to feature enhancements to Tivo but feel VM need to look at there pre-release testing as it is strange this did not get noticed by at least some of the initial testing team.

And now we just need the equivalent feature for the recently deleted folder to clear it out for those of us who are paranoid in keeping things tidy!

Your OCD tendencies do not need to be catered for. Just see a doctor ;):p::D
