Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

The one thing I really like is the series link.:erm:

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

Thats a pretty poor argument, few peoples worlds would "be crashing down" without TV at all.
Once again it seems more like a case of just because YOU dont think its useful, no one should.

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

Wow, the V+, that takes me back :)

It appears no one can answer the series link management question - I'll have to assume this is a flaw in the 360 which adds to the not 'upgrading' argument

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

I don't think it did

It is patented

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

Just looked at the old V+ details. You could manage series links, for example, to resolve recording clashes, but couldn't move them up and down the list to set higher/lower priorities- I think that it's this function that must be TiVo patented.

I see no reason why Virgin couldn't deploy this system again for the 360.

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

That would be a step in the right direction

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

Why must you turn posts into personal tirades? I said there is little demand for such features. I am aware that some people value them.

You can record whole series on the 360, of course. What aspect of that were you referring to?

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

No, you didnt, you said "I don’t think there’s a demand for it."

The fact you dont think there is a demand doesnt actually make it true, what is your evidence for this ?

Plus of course, the additional nonsense about peoples worlds crashing down. :sleep:

Again, not what you actually posted. ;)

"personal tirades" ? Wow, get a grip back on reality.

If you dont like people picking you up on things you post, then maybe dont post them. :dozey:

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

I really do not what to track when something comes back , which I understand perhaps incorrectly the 360 can't do. As it is when a new series starts it records. Sorted :erm:

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

Oh my God, Paul, you are really something else! Find something else to worry about instead of nitpicking over every little thing.

I have no intention of wasting a whole thread on this, and people certainly don’t want to read it. We can disagree with one another without going into a strop or deep mood about it.

We all have different opinions and surely we should all respect the opinions others hold. If you think they are wrong, discuss it instead and explain why you differ instead of trying to belittle them. Isn’t that what a forum is all about?

I stand by my view that there is little demand for this feature. Most people use their boxes to watch TV, not to tinker about with the ‘features’.

No, it just comes back on its own if you set it as a series link in the first place. If it pops up with a new season and you no longer want to watch it, just cancel the series link at that stage.

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

The only person "worrying" about it seems to be you as you keep on responding :erm:
Well guess what, I can do that as well. :cool: Its funny how people who disagree with you are "nitpicking". ;)

You can stand by it all you want, that is your right - but its just your opinion, you have nothing to actually back it up.
You seem far more worried that I disagree with you, and asked for evidence (which I guess you dont have since you skipped right over that bit). :sleep:

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

That's good to know .

No, it just comes back on its own if you set it as a series link in the first place. If it pops up with a new season and you no longer want to watch it, just cancel the series link at that stage.

Deleted.

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

Exactly.

Re: Virgin 360 Recordings question
 

Thanks so much for this info, it’s really helpful. I’ve just had to breakdown and upgrade my V6 to 360 software since they’ve stopped supporting it and this hack is wonderful thank you. It’s also a relief to know that once you set a serious recording it will continue to pick it up. I was worried that I was gonna have to remember each time the series came back to reprogram it.
