Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I am currently recording the Soap Awards (8.00pm - 10.00pm)
as well as the Family Guy double bill (9.00pm - 9.30pm and then 9.30pm to 10.00pm)
whilst watching the Apprentice on BBC One - I just got a message come up on screen to say I need to change channel for the recording of the second Family Guy to happen.
Any reason why this has happened?

Guess you put padding on so temporarily needs 3 tuners due to overlap?

Tivo does not cut padding off when there is an overlap like V+ does. I've posted this as a complaint and something which needs changing on the VM Forum.

Not the BBC! They're the only channels that I've found have bits missing from recordings if I don't pad!

I heard one main channel tonight, I can't remember which, announce they were running early, so 'whatever' will now start early.
They are complete idiots.

as you already had multi-room, you don't qualify for the free multi-room offer, so Â£6.50 monthly charge will stand.

Any idea when we who already had multiroom will get our 'goodie' offer. similar to the free multi room offer?

Not sure... AFAIK there should be upgrade options for broadband (50meg etc)from sales.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

What is Multiroom?
Is that just having more than one box, or something different?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

One problem I have . . .

I set a series link to record Family Guy on FX, but for some reason they are recording the ones on FX HD which I do not want to record. Is there a way to set the box not to auto record HD versions.
Also for series like this which is on every night, what is the best setting - New only, New and re runs or Everything?

If you go in to "My shows and recordings" then "Manage my series links" you will be able to see which channel it is set up for ? You may have set it up to record FXHD. Just a thought?

Did you have multi-room BEFORE TiVo?

Spoke to Customer Care (Billing) this morning - they now tell me that the Â£10 is already taken care of in a 'package discount' I have - but I don't know if this is the case or not. As the discount doesn't say what it covers, just that it covers BB/TV/Phone, it's difficult to see how this is broken down and if, indeed, the Â£10 is covered. I'm still not really happy - the discount is about Â£34 altogether, does anyone else have a similar billing - if so, do you also have the Â£10 V+ charge listed?

Also I have just noticed (not sure how long it's been on) that I've got both Talk Mobile and Talk International which I never asked for! Looks like I'll have to call them again!

Like others who already had multi-room and missed out on the Â£6.50 being waived, would like to see what they're going to offer instead?

Really think they need to sort their billing out to make everything clear.

If you are on the VIP bundle then the V+ Â£10 charge is indeed included in the discount and should not be removed.

Only a small number of people have been offered to keep their old V+ without the multiroom charge. This is unlikely to happen for all multiroom customers - just think of the revenue that Virgin Media would lose (although it would be a good differentiator from Sky).
