Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Just ordered my TiVo 500GB box! :) Install id on Wednesday between 1 and 6 so not a long wait.
Just a few questions - is the BBC Red Button on the box yet and other red button e.g ITV and Channel 5?

Also, has anyone got any videos of them using the box on YouTube for example?

BBC/Sky/ITV red button is not currently available on TiVo. There are a few vids on YouTube if you search.

I seem to have 3 tuners recording regularly, and the potential problem would still occur if all three tuners are recording.

I'm not knocking dynamic EPGs I'm just looking to see if there are any potential negatives as well as the positives.

no, you either press RED on BBC channels or go to the BBC iPlayer App. It's like the internet version. It has it's own search also.

BBC content will go back to the VoD menus at a later date.

I think Tivo has a serious addiction problem; it still seems to keep recording even then, suggestions I assume.

If it carries on, I may need to stage an intervention :D

But seriously the three tuners keep getting used because all the new series are shown at prime time between 9-11 on all the channels.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 22:34.
