No it wants me to record it and remind me, I want it to change to that channel so I don't forget. I don't want the hassle of having to go through various menus to delete something I just watched..

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

Where is Carl Waring when you need him? :D

'Various menus'?

One button press to My Shows, select the show and then a one button press to delete. Done.

OK maybe I'm being a touch lazy.
But the wife who has M.E. and doesn't always remember viewing times could set up her evenings viewing and sit back and relax knowing the TV would take care of itself.

BTW.. I see a certain Carl Waring pops up on the Digital Spy forums now..

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

I saw a post a while back making a similar case such as the one you make for your wife and understand it,

But wouldn't it be just as easy to set recordings up for everything and just access them from My Shows? Especially as I'm sure many of them are series, so the recording only has to be set up once.

I seem to remember a discussion a good while back that said that they do auto switch to the reminded channel on Tivo, but as I don't use them, I can't say for sure.

Tivo was never designed with reminders in mind; they weren't considered necessary on a PVR where all three tuners were able to record. VM listened to those who wanted them and I think made a good job of including them in a software concept that was alien to Reminders, even though they don't work exactly like they do on the V+.

That was the only way TiVo could implement the reminder facility.

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

Yep, that one has been out for some time now, that update also moves the series-link indexing to the background (no more 6 minutes waits when changing recording priorities):

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

Now that will be a big bonus. My re-indexing takes way longer than 6 minutes, so I only do it when absolutely necessary and do something else whilst it is being done.

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

And l for one am glad of having the reminder facility.

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

You can effectively do this in the background by initiating it from the TV Anywhere iPad app.

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

Just need an ipad :D

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

...or the Android app.

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

Pathetic box then.

I hate the way it works.

I want reminder without record.

Now that is something that really makes me mad, feel like kicking the box out the window at times because of the stupid remind and record and no remind only.

Wish VM would come out with a decent box.

Tivo is OK but nothing spectacular.

Have to say I get more annoyed with the box than I don't get annoyed.

The box has nearly gone through the window loads of time.

No wonder so many friends and family when used mine or a few other friends boxes have said they won't change to a Tivo box.

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

When i was with VM i loved Tivo. Yes it has its flaws but so does every box

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

is there anyway to view the tv schedule when watching a recorded show? I click ok button and it brings up the mini guide. I try to close it and it stops the recording.

most annoying.

Re: About time TiVO had an update!
 

Yes there is. Pressing the Guide button will load the guide up and show the recording in the top right of your screen. As you say pressing the OK button brings up the mini guide, on both you can 'info' programmes.

To get rid of the guide/mini guide without stopping the playback just press the button under the Guide button in both cases and it will get rid of the mini guide and enlarge to full screen your recording that you're watching when it exits the ordinary guide :)

I hope that makes sense :D
