Reminders
Working Red Button
The option to delete entire folders of programmes rather than 1 at a time

Can't argue with any of those especially reminders as l used them a fair bit with my old box.

Youtube finally opens after you have watched the red line below the logo "rev up" for a minute or so, then you try a search and watch a sort of circle thing chase it's tail for a while and mostly after that a blank screen with nothing to do but exit back to live TV and start all over again - wife now thinks they are taking the ****.... (That should read as another word for urine)

Grrrrr

Old YouTube app still exists... go Apps & Games -> All Apps & Games and that is the one you want. Sadly YouTube searches via HDUI menus are still mapped to new YouTube app but that'll do as a workaround.

You can do that now. Select the folder in My Shows, press Clear, then OK

Ok then I'll get behind the call for the damned thing to take MY recording choices first and foremost over what it "Thinks" I might like, and No, I don't want to change the channel or cancel the recording, so sod off and do as you're told... :D

Make the blue button 'sticky' - I like to set it to view favourites only but it randomly resets itself to All channels which is *very* annoying.

Agree with the working red button, all menus in HD etc. Hope someone's listening as I wasn't too impressed with the 15.2 upgrade ...

I'm sure you can do that now by just pressing the clear button on your remote. Not tried it myself but sure I've read it somewhere on this forum.

Soz bit late, just read Spiderplant's post.

Re: What would you like in the next Tivo update next year?

Here's a good one:

When a promo for a show comes up and you think "oh, that looks interesting" you can press one of the coloured buttons to add it to the planned recordings list without having to search and add manually.

Now THAT would be transparency (and a nightmare to implement no doubt.) Something for the future though.

Most important update for me would be the ability to set/change the defaults for express series link. I want to be able keep more than 10 episodes sometimes, and keep my recordings until I delete them!

Similar to Sky's 'Remind Me' feature then?
Yeah that would be a nice touch :)

Sounds like another great idea to me and it would be great if they could implement that one.

As far as I'm aware Sky only implement this feature on their own channels. I'm not sure why that is but I'm sure it's a huge technical effort and VM don't the luxury of their own channel line up to test it on.

Sky already do this with the green button remind me feature allowing you to add a reminder for the show or set a series link , I agree its an excellent idea.
Freeview also have the same feature http://www.freeview.co.uk/Freeview-Plus

Ah, well if it has been possible on Freeview and Sky, VM should get around to it!

Re: What would you like in the next Tivo update next year?

Have all programs linked to their on demand page. Only on one show/film have I seen 'Watch now On Demand' when I was exploring the show even though I know others I have explored are available.

Plus improved metadata on everything, give me a call and I'l be glad to do it for free.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 10:01.
