Interesting that the reviewer seems to agree with Jethro UK

You can set up series links, but this is a bit convoluted. You have to select the programme, then enter a menu and select ‘Get a Series Link’, it then takes you into a low-res menu with options to set up your series link - such as just new episodes, or new and re-runs - before taking a few seconds to confirm it and return you to the first menu.

Which is factually incorrect. A default SL can be set in TWO CLICKS.

(Haven't actually read the review yet.)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Anybody recorded a radio programme yet? I put in a wishlist based on the name of the great blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa and Tivo has picked up a programme dedicated to him on Planet Rock next week.

Just wondering how reliable radio recording is?

On the recordings, on the first attempt to record Operation Crossbow, I can confirm the live TV programme definitely started late compared to EPG times which the Tivo followed. I knew this as I was watching it live while recording it as didn't plan to watch it to the end so new the programme started "late".

However the chances of this happening twice seems to much of a coincidence and even if there was a delay, the EPG certainly didn't get corrected and I thought it was meant o be updated every 20 minutes.

Anyway, watched it al in the end so just raising as an example of a potential EPG issue as per NickO request to report on the VM Forum.

Yes feel very lucky both are coming to Nottingham. Another time for you from the sound of it, been there and have 2 kids myself.

Suppose better get back onto Tivo now and looking forward to see what happens on this first radio recording for me, was good to see wishlists picked it up!
