The fact that Tivo actively goes and finds alternative recording times is excellent!

Agreed this can be helpful in many occasions , one being a powercut.

Must admit mate parental controls can be annoying , still I suppose they are there for a reason.

Just checked the Tivo and you cannot change the age rating ( you can change some parts to require a pin E.G purchase controls ), someone else may be able to advise if possible :confused:

possibly, it's something Cindy Rose has hinted at in the press, but more likely 500gb and 1TB only.

When the boxes are mostly mpeg4 compatible the switch would create even more storage space , on sky my 250gb box tapes 60hrs HD and the Sky 1tb box does 240 hrs HD so if Virgin had a 500gb TIVo under mpeg 4 you'd be looking about 120 hrs and the TIVO 1tb 240 hrs.

Once everyone is on TiVo or V-HD then we can switch.
