When we were in the US last Walmart had a TV with internet apps (think it was Vizio ) it was in demo mode showing the Twitter app up the side while still watching full screen TV it looked pretty good.

Be good if the TIVO could do the same.

Re: TiVo
 

Still no phone call from Virgin and when l talked to customer service she said she knew nothing about Tivo, l am not happy at the moment.

Re: TiVo
 

Would be nice if it happened:D:D:D

Re: TiVo
 

Just got my March bill and Virgin have charged me TiVo £149 activation fee.

I have paid the £149 activation fee on my CC.

Not very happy

EDIT: Rang Virgin and sorted. My error as they had put £149 onto my last bill as a credit and now its come off as a debit.

Re: TiVo
 

Check your "refunds" side of the bill and if there is no credit, then call Customer Care on 150.

Like the XBox one at launch, the developers are looking at "in screen" use, except Sky owned channels of course!

Re: TiVo
 

Yeah it was my own dumb fault. I just assumed the cc payment didnt touch my bill. doh! :)

Re: TiVo
 

I thought that i heard a big sigh of relief ;):D

Re: TiVo
 

You may hear something else when the wife sees the amount going out to Virgin this month on the bank statement. :Yikes:

Re: TiVo
 

Good one:D

Just say you have got her a belated valentines present?

I wouldn't use premier only at the moment. Some shows do not have the "new" marker correctly set, particularly US shows.

If you set it to Reapeats & Premier then you will get the recording you want (it will see it as a repeat), but you won't get any more repeats of the same episode witin 28 days provided you keep it on the TiVo.

Or I guess you can set a manual recording, but that sort of defeats the purpose of your £3 TiVo sub ;)

VM need to work on making this EPG data 100% or having premier only is really a pointless option.

Actually I have a question of my own.

I have done a "thumbs up" on "Top 20...." on MTV Dance. I see today it's recording a "Top 20..." on MTV Base. If I thumbs down "Top 20..." on MTV base will it thumbs down the whole "Top 20..." over all channels or is it intelligent enough to understand my channel preferences ?!

Re: TiVo
 

It should pick up what Genres you like if you rate the others.

thanks matey,I changed them to that its just trial and error at min.Its bound to have its bugs,we have just got to be patient and wait for updates.Just dont want to here coming soon lol

Re: TiVo
 

The EPG needs to pick up what's a new episode 100% of the time! Surely that's Tivo's bread and butter, anything but perfection in this area is really disappointing. :(

Re: TiVo
 

It will get sorted,Rome wasn`t built in a day.I remember all the problems with the v+`s but they got sorted,Believe me i have been playing with my tivo allday and it ticks more boxes than crosses and it is only gonna get better with updates

Re: TiVo
 

The problem is that all the EPG data should be spot on. They launched in the UK late 2000 and have been operating on US soil all this time. 11 years to get a correct UK EPG isn't exactly asking for the world!

I agree with your points though regarding other things and expect all the little niggles to be ironed out (padding etc.) through software updates. These things are to be expected from a new box. The EPG on the other hand is bread and butter basics, they can't be affording any hiccups in that area in my opinion. :)
