Silly Question - how do you stop playback of a recording, pressing stop just takes the screen to preview window ?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

For me it took 3 or 4 forced connections and a reboot before the guide was full (ok, the reboot was to get the channel logos visible).

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Press the TV button.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Not obvious, why not the STOP button ?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I don't know the exact reasons, however when I press stop near the end of a recording it does stop playback and will usually ask if I want to keep or delete the recording.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

How do you force connect? Can't see an option because I presume it has actually connected?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Select Help & Settings on the Home screen.
Choose Settings enter your PIN.
Select Network.
Choose from the available options.
Connect to the Virgin Media TV service now

Hope this helps?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Thanks, I only have options to view current status, and because its still doing something (loading info) I cant force connect. I think!. Suppose I'll just have to leave it and see if it ever loads that last 1%!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

It does take a fair while for the last 1% to load for the first time?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I've had my TiVo installed today and I've got some questions about how it sets series links.

On my V+ Box, say if I set a series link for a program that is shown at 21:30, then it will only record the program at 21:30 however on the TiVo, it records the program whenever it is on which means I've got a lot of repeats in my planned recordings. I then changed the series link option to record only New episodes which are shown at 21:30 but the planned recordings still show repeats. Is there anyway of preventing the repeats so that TiVo only records the episodes as a series at 21:30?

Another thing about series links, I presumed with TiVo you can set a series link for anything. I tried setting a series link for a program that I know the V+ identifies as a series but TiVo only provides the option to record the program once. TiVo shows upcoming episodes of the show but it doesn't allow a series link to be set, why could this be?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Thanks for that Carl, TiVo really is a clever little box! :D

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Must be a repeat anyway as World War II finished in 1945 ;)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Would also be a very long programme :D

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Hi

Can you let me know what the examples are which you quote.

The first problem could be down to the programme not having the correct EPG data - it will normally avoid recording duplicates of the same episode.

I have not come across any instances where series links are not offered as an option. What is the programme?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Mine was like that for the first week after installation. Now the stop button works as it should. I have no idea why but that is my experience. In fact it took the full seven days before it really settled down.:confused:

You MUST allow TiVo a full seven days before it is in a position to provide all functions fully. This has been my experience. It is daft I know but that is what mine took.!:erm:
