I couldn't see 'TV' listed in the Cisco drop down menu of commands; Did I miss it? I checked a couple of times.

I've actually made EXIT operate the clear function and added TV as an icon on the touch screen (I had it there for V+ operation so familiar in that position)

I was surprised how much the V+ based activity on my Harmony controlled TIVO; I could have just added a few commands and stuck with my Watch TV activity based on the V+

Exit = TV

The one to learn is the Zoom video window, while they technically do the same thing one brings up a menu and the time bar while the other one just shows video.

Well here is a weird one. I have a Harmony 555, and everything works fine except the channel up and down, which seems to control the moment on the buffer bar by mistake.

Any ideas what to put it for a Harmony 1100 to make the Tivo work? I've tried adding a Cisco CT-8565, a VirginMedia Tivo and none of them come up in the database. I'd love to be able to avoid having to teach it the entire remote.

Was that a typo or what you actually tried? It's CT-8685 ;)

How embarrassing. :D I must have had 8565 on the brain for some reason. I blame the heat.

Thank you for making me double-check what I was doing ... it's all set up perfectly now.

You're right; I checked it when setting up my 885 for the bedroom. I've restored 'Exit' on the Harmony One to Exit to keep both remotes the same (still kept a 'TV' icon though) ;)

Don't worry; using the Cisco CT8685, it's easy; If I recall, most buttons are what they should be by default.

Installed yesterday - it took me ages to work out that it wouldn't work with "Watch Television (Tivo)". Anyway, it's working now ....

So, is everyone setting the Tivo to turn on/off, or leave it on? I suspect leaving it on will be most reliable as there aren't separate power on/off codes (yet?)

Turning it off and on this morning, it seemed to maintain the buffer for the channel being watched, so I don't think it'll save on power or disk life, but does anyone know if turning it off makes a difference to receiver choice for example? Or does leaving it off for longer stop the buffering?

By the way - the installer told me that every single person he's installed for so far has had a S1 Tivo.
