Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

On the VM Tivo box there are four lights next to the record button. In the guide it says one of these is light 11, a downloading light which is supposed to show blue when a download is in progress. However, in the picture accompanying this text the light is clearly red, and I did wonder if a fourth tuner was a possibility on this box at some point in the future?

Thanks spj20016, btw, great tip.

It shows in blue when a software download is happening. You are only likely to see this is you stay up late a night.

Or when you reset the box as well.

Press the Clear button (bottom right on remote) while Fast Forwarding and the bar will clear while it continues to Fast Forward. Hope this helps.

Cheers, and can I mention what a polite way to say RTFM :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I have questions as I am thinking of getting one :)

- Is Tivo having trouble with SD pictures, as per gadge?

- If, when Tivo has taken it into its head to record a 'suggestion' at the same time as the other 2 tuners are recording, (which Gunslinger informed me about) can a person cancel the 'suggestion'?

- Has Tivo got the new test SD Channel that MB has seen on channnel 890. The new channel is called ''Test 43'' and is also broadcasting On Demand Previews plus EPG info is showing the same info as Virgin Channel 100.

Test 43 is on my TiVo EPG with the description as " To be announced"

- Some have reported poor pics, others are not affected, mine is fine (Sony Bravia) Firmware update due to fix this

- You can cancel the Suggestion if you wish

- I've not looked, maybe someone else can check?

Me thinks that the TiVo prioritises such that it will record programmes you want in preference to ones it wants to record for you. If you aren't watching live TV then the TiVo can record 3 programmes simultaneously.

I too would like to know, hopefully someone in the know can drop some hints.

Was looking forward to watching Barca-AC Milan last night until I realised it was on that damn red button! :mad:
