Also the menus are so slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww and that stupid red spinning thing really annoys the hell out of me so does anyone have any solution?
I have a 21 inch samsung and a 32 inch panasonic and don't have a pq issue that either me ar hubby have noticed. Had TiVo since April on each of them.

Also don't have a slow menu problem. The only menu I have experienced extreme slowness is when rearranging series link priorities and that's because it has to go through the whole list and guide and reprioritise. It's a pain but there's a reason. I've never had an issue otherwise and at one point after being away for three weeks I was at 95% full. I'm consistently at about 60%. This is the full size TiVo. So full hard drive isn't necessarily the cause of slow menu response.

So while I'm not doubting the problems I'm just saying they're not affecting everyone.

Sounds like you have a fault. I suggest you give VM a call.

Well thats a very brave comment from you on this site. I don't have Tivo but have heard from a lot of people that it has very poor picture quality.

You may be told I am troll by the way but I would ask you to read my posting history and read the bullying I have received on this site.

Muppetman and Devilincarnate are great posters offering great impartial advice. Denphone is a Mode Edit and i advise you to ignore him.
Interesting that you haven't got a TiVo:

Hi of all the problems I'm having with Tivo maybe you peeps can help me with one. How do I set reminders?
Also seems like you both use the word "peeps", odd that.

Don't you feel pretty sad making numerous forum accounts, all for the same reason; to humiliate yourself?

Please grow up, and actually do something more effective with your time such as going outdoors...

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 
Have VM acknowledged this as a problem with the Tivo yet and is it possible for them to fix it with a Tivo update?

I've got used to the reduced picture quality now but I was round a friend's house this weekend watching the NUFC Arsenal game on his Logik 32" 720p and SA V+. It reminded me of the picture quality I had when I had the SA, it looked amazing compared to what I've got used to.

I'm now watching MOTD in HD on my Samsung 32" 720p and the picture quality is more like SD. It's so disappointing, but I'll get used to it in a few days again I suppose.

Yeah, there is a beta group who are currently testing the update with a view to it rolling out soon the last I read. Also, MOTD was in SD even though it was mislabeled as being HD in the guide.

A Samsung panel should out perform a Logik by quite a long way.

Good to hear.

I'm glad it was in SD, I thought the HD had got even worse!

It's SD on some tv's thats the problem, not HD. :)

Re: TiVo Picture Quality
 
That's a good point, DF. If you've got a poor HD picture, something else is wrong. Also I haven't heard of anyone with a 720 line TV being able to see the SD upscaling problem. (I can't on my 26" Samsung)

If there's a SCART lead plugged into the TiVo, unplug it to make sure you really are using HDMI. And check which resolutions you have selected in Settings->Video Output->Video Output Format - maybe you'll need to experiment with various combinations to get the best picture for both SD and HD. Failing all that, give VM a call.

just had tivo installed. First channel pulled up the picture quality is awful.

very disappointed. I thought I was upgrading my box not downgrading it.

Go to Help & Settings > Settings > Video Output

Have you got "Aspect Correction Mode" set to panel?
