I've been getting a lot of the Spinning Red Polo today (and no, it's not a medical ailment). Seems like TiVo is having trouble gathering info. Anyone else?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yes, I have. i didn't see them at all for the first week but thy've started to appear. They don't normally last long though, apart from the one that locked the system completely and required a power down reboot.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yeah. I get them occasionally but there's usually a good reason for it. eg my wishlist for "all films" :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Yes, my system was very slow this morning when I switched on. Then eventually the Red Polo stuck there.... went away and left it a while, came back - still there. So, in the end, I had to switch off power at the back (couldn't reboot using the menus!) and then I did a manual connect to network. Touch wood it has been fine since :)

Ah, I didn't manage that ticket, but noticed it was posted with the incorrect description ;) :D

You just can't get the staff :D

:LOL:

So I thought I'd make the jump to TiVo and ordered online a week ago. It said I'd get a call back but just got an email confirming date and time.

I phoned up to check prices and if I could keep one of the two boxes what the price would be and if it would be any different if I kept the V+ box or old faithful.

Still waiting... 20 mins on the phone's timer now. Speaking to person 3....

I like VM enough to stay with them as a customer but, my god, sometimes when you contact them.....

Still happy...not much to add to other people's comments / niggles.

Catchup broken but being fixed.
PIN implementation is painful.
Suggestions and wishlists are what I wanted and they work as well as I could have hoped :D

So not posted much - sorry :dunce:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Well that doesn't put my mind at ease! I just reconnected to the thingamajig, and it seems to be better so far. But if that box asks me for my PIN once more I'm going to kick it in the nuts. :mad::mad:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Not sure if it has nuts, It may have quite a few screws:erm: Sorry I am no help at all:(

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

And I think a few of yours may be loose too, by the sound of it ;) (Screws, not nuts. I'll shut up now :p:)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

A bit of an overkill if you don't need it to controll multiple devices, but on a Harmony remote control, you can programme the pin number as a sequence, so that just pressing one button enters your pin number.

Apart from the one time the box locked up, even though the red ring appeared, it didn't delay it for too long; not long enough to be concerned about, anyway.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

About time:LOL: (only joking)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Oh no what have i done !!!!

Just ordered Tivo :hyper:

Bye bye Sky.
