Anymore people on here who have had a call regarding the raffle for free TiVO? Gone quiet since.

You love this raffle don't you Matt ha ha.

Re: TiVo
 

Had TiVo installed today and I have to admit I am impressed. I haven't used it much but it is all very slick and easy to use. 2 things I feel I need to chime in with.

1) The SD picture is worse than the Samsung V+ was on my Pioneer Plasm, but it is in no way as bad as some people are making it out to be.

2) when working fine the box is superfast but I have had a few instances where it has been super slow. I am, however, yet to experiance the slowness of the V+ when accessing OD content so overall an improvement on the speed of my other box

Oh and I also have to say that I am loving Wishlists. I am a huge Arsenal fan and I placed Arsenal as a key word with sport as a category and it found and set to record a load of stuff that I would never have found if I was still using V+ ;)

A question, when setting a series link what is the best option to choose. I'm not interested in seeing repeats etc just new material I haven't watched before. Is it safe to do this though or will ever risk missing an episode

Re: TiVo
 

Have a look in the TV Guide and if the programmes you want it to record are marked "NEW" then just recording "premiere" will record those episodes only.

Re: TiVo
 

Quote AndyC When I have all resolutions enabled the TiVo selects 720p for SD content. If you enable only 576p and 1080i then it chooses to output SD at 1080i. You can't seem to get it to choose 576p output unless you disable both HD resolutions.

Will the Tivo output 576i if required? ( the SA V+ will) this would be best if you want your TV to upscale and deinterlace for SD content.

Re: TiVo
 

Yeah fair enough on the Top Gear. But the EPG data needs to work for UK/VM premiers for US shows, as otherwise you'll need to remove the "premier only" option from the series link options.

Re: TiVo
 

It does. The EPG data is UK data, not US.

Re: TiVo

No call to me yet.

Re: TiVo
 

well i forgot all about it, just thought it was just an advertisment to see how many of us were interested? maybe it is dont no but i got the call!

Re: TiVo
 

Well it goofed up on True Blood on FX HD last Friday, so clearly the quality of the data is not 100%. And I might add next Friday's showing does not come up with the "new" marker either. Compared to Being Human which does correctly flag both SD and HD showing next Sunday.

A service such as this really is going to live or die based on the quality of the EPG info, otherwise you might as well take out all the fancy dancy series link options and just let us schedule everything manually. But that being the case I'd want my 3 quid a month back !

Exactly why pay 3.00 :rolleyes:
