Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

If the episode remains listed in the EPG but gets postponed then Tivo will not record it as it has done its job already in recording the show as listed in the EPG and has therefore recirded something else in its place.

Thanks for that Lex. Clears up an unanswered question (Tivo isn't that clever :)).

Theres a LOT of live sport this year coming!!
The only thing i have missed so far is Mock the Week thanks to the tennis but could see it happening a lot more.

If the data is updated correctly then yes it should.

If you like you can make sure they're on it by emailing TivoGuideErrorsATvirginmediaDOTcoDOTuk

Is this a Series Link or Wishlist? If the former then the setting is irrelevant as only new episodes will ever be shown on BBC1 :)

Unless someone is on-the-ball in re-setting the OAD of course :)

Series link - One of few that never get repeats on BBC 1 then !!!

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

Wow. I'm shocked TIVO is not smart enough to account for programs over running etc. Literally. I have always had it sold to me as "the future" and "smart" etc. From what I am seeing the only thing it would add to our household is extra storage. I/we would have to learn the new interface/remote, still have sports recordings muck up, lose proper red button support, lose archiving ability and put up with the other niggles I read about.

What does TIVO actually bring to the table that is an advantage other than trying to record stuff you might like?

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

Just to let you all know TiVo failed to pick up "Casualty" at all .
Even though it has been set up to record since the day it was put in. Strangely as it had never been cancelled on the V+ it did record it !!!

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

So reliable Series Links and the potential to automatically record shows based on certain criteria not of interest? Then yeah, V+ is fine.
See above comment :)

Did you report it as I suggested? Yes, you should not have needed to and it was certainly an error that should have been corrected.

That's because it would have recorded it anyway, whether it was an old or new episodes. V+ is kinda dumb that way :p

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

That is not really a Tivo fault. That is an issue for VM as they have chosen not to provide a dynamic epg.

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

You don't loose archiving ability.

3 recordable tuners

Series links that you don't have to renew when a show takes a season break or at the begining of each season.

Tivo automatically looks for repeats in the event of a series link recording clash (limited to the same channel unfortunately, but still better than V+)

Whishlists; saves you the time you could spend trying to find out when a future show you want to watch is due to air and on which channel. Tivo whishlits automatically record it for you, no matter how far it is in the future, as well as recording anything by your favourite actress/actor/director/subject/genre.

Series, Season and episode information.

Upcoming episodes of a specific show within the 14 day EPG window.

Backwards EPG for 7 days with direct access to anything on the catchup services.

Intelligent show search with options to set a series link, wishlist, view from On Demand (if available) or view a clip on Youtube.

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

True, but you have to do it when you're not watching TV, rather than at the same time. Annoying but not a huge problem. Unless you're always watching TV :D

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

The post said Tivo couldn't archive, and it can. We all know that V+ does it better, but that wasn't the point in question ;)

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

No I did not life's too short. (V+) Or kinda smart :D as it is beyond TiVo :shocked:

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

Wow! And people call me pedantic :D

Re: Is it worth coming back yet?
 

Series link has failed for at least two shows that my "boss" loves. Luckily she still looks at
(paper) TV guide Which did have them. If you want to know it was Royal Pains & Kate + 8.
