Because I for one would rather have the Tivo as it is now than not at all before they add miminally-useful stuff like reminders.

I don't think they have "red button" in the US, so it's had to be added and that has taken some time. Possibly longer than they thought it would.

How the hell can they not have red button service for the biggest football club competition in Europe and for one of the golf majors but have it on the old box. Beggars belief!

Explain that away

So it's Sky's fault, who'd have thought it eh? Am I right in saying that red button is available on F1 channel for TiVo but not on HD box? :confused:

Carl, obviously you are entitled to your opinion but to me TiVo is beginning to look like a large space to store hours and hours of tv and not a lot more.

As explained on that vmcommunity post, the TiVo apps will be delivered over several months, just like happened with the Liberate apps last year.

Even the mighty Sky can't do stuff instantly.

So why is it we had Masters on the range on Sky Sports red button on TiVo this week then and not the Masters SP.:)

Because they don't have infinite resources. Maybe they could have done golf instead of F1, or football instead of F1, but for whatever reason it was decided to do F1 first. Considering the popularity of F1 and the number of races, I think they made the right decision.

Don't know. But I'd bet there is a good technical, commercial or operational reason.

Everything happens for a reason. :)
