Thanks - no problem.

How in the blue hell do you use the tv guide on VM's site to record things?

When I sign in it says doesn't look like I've got an active Tivo box.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

You're right. If you already have a tuner on the channel you are tuning to, it swaps them instead.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Tonight we set a series link for "How its Made" for my son, we set it to "new" only as he has seen all the others... so in theory it should ignore all the repeats that are on as they dont have a "new" status on the EPG. However as we were setting it up, it told us that various ones would clash with other programmes I have set to record.

SO I went in to check planned recordings... they were listed as it was going to record them all (even though repeats) so this doesnt work properly.

Also what is the point in recording hiccups and why does it list every single episode and not put them into folders so that you dont have to scroll through every single episode.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

If you are signing in from your Virgin account it should work no problem - I use it all the time. You may have to give them a call to sort that out.

I think I'll just wait for the app to come out...

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Cheers Carl. That was my question. I didn't explain it very well though. I want to set up a wishlist to record Season 3 of Fringe, as I've already seen Seasons 1 & 2 and don't want to watch them again. I could just opt to record New & Reruns but I'm deleting enough as it is. I've only had TiVo since Weds, but my TiVo is getting a little over familiar. :blush: It's been lit up like a Xmas Tree since Friday, recording suggestions. About 60% of which are of no interest to me.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I think the app will need the account to be recognised so I would sort it out now if you get the chance.

Yeah as per my earlier post just find it from Search and Browse and go to Episode Guide and select the episodes or series you want. When they are shown they will be recorded.

Welcome to the crazy world of tivo! :p:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I miss the fav button on the remote.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yes me too. I believe that format of EPG is available on the US Tivos (as it was on the UK S1 Tivos) so may be easy to activate on the new UK boxes.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Funny, that. I absolutely hated the way the V+ worked when you pressed the fav button. I preferred the grid view of the normal guide.

Todays Recorded Suggestions:

Live Premiership football
Alan Partridge
Father Ted

Nice one Tivo! I can see we are going to get along very well!

(i will overlook Beverley Hills 90210 - I can see you were probably confused by my wifes 'Brothers and Sisters' series link)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I found a copy of liv v new in my suggestions! Very handy, i didnt even know they played! Shame in SD though

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Are you giving it the 3 thumbs down for the programs its recording that are of no interest?

Tonight it impressed me, I set up a series link for a 3 in a bed and it suggested and recorded a program called "the hotel" on channel 4! Only problem is it recorded the channel 4 version and not the 4hd channel! Shame really! It should default to a hd channel if there is one available.
