Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Looking at that PDF reminds me of my student days and that god awful user interface. Who thought those 9 boxes were a good idea?

But it's good to hear that multi-room will be added :)

Yes l remember having it as one of my first set top boxes.

Will it be full multiroom, i.e., what's recorded on each box will be available to all the others? Rather than one 'main' box, who's content will be available to the other 'non main' boxes?

The former, with my 2 boxes, will give me six recordable tuners and twice the capacity and full flexibility as to where I watch things. The latter will be much more limiting.

I hope they can add something where you can just press record on an episode or film in a series guide/actor listings and it would just record that, having to go through a wishlist when your just wanting one specific episode or film is a pain.

Are you able to expand on what you mean by lots of GUI improvements Stephen?

I love the idea of replacing my other 2 VM boxes with TiVo's and having access to a potential 9 tuners! If VM can make this happen I'll be putty in their hands! :shocked::D

No that's not it. I can't really say but there are little tweaks and small changes to the guide and mini guide for a start.
