Unfortunately not. No red button services but lots more features. I will post the full list this Friday as I am only on my BlackBerry until then and cannot copy and paste my emailsm

up coming tivo fixes.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Figured something out, might have come up before.

When using the full EPG in reverse to view shows there is no green button "play catchup now" option, however when using the mini EPG (OK in full-screen TV mode) in reverse, the green button can work BUT it has to be a show that aired more than roughly 2 hours ago, to allow for it to appear on iPlayer otherwise you just get bumped to the main Catch Up/On Demand menu because that stream doesn't exist yet therefore the link is broken.

Bear in mind, the mini EPG will allow three-digit entry to jump to a specific channel just like the full EPG but using <</>> won't make it jump back/foward one day unlike the full EPG.

Having done more homework on the roots of VM's TiVo (the US TiVo Premiere HD) I must say, it looks like at least some of the criticisms the box is getting are the result of the maker, not VM. It seems like VM's TiVo is slightly slicker than the original release Premiere HD, which is more than twice as sluggish by comparison.

My mini EPG jumps back or forward a day with >> or <<.

I have never used the green button to play back something from catch didn't even know that was a option.

New Features Coming to Tivo

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Seems point less if proves to be the case, if Virgin Media don't get their fingers out they'll end up losing TiVo customers never mind gaining them, the BBC Red button as a minimum should have been there from the start, every other provider can manage it so why not VM for there TiVo box? :mad:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

They could have but that would have meant delaying the product. I'd much rather we have TiVo minus red button then not at all. If red button services are that important hold of getting it.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

The majority of those fixes are essential though Multi tap entry , quicker series links , HDMI connection reliability fixed , better PQ will all improve the functionality of the box. Red button maybe added in further small releases.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Here's my pennies worth. This update could very well have the building blocks needed for the red button services. However it is content providers like BBC, itv and sky to write their red button services just like they have done on the old software platform.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Hope that includes cutting the padding off when have back to back recordings like V+ does.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

As far as I can tell any padding and clipping will work exactly as it does now. The change is adding the ability to set your preference globally rather than per recording/series link

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

That had better be optional. And hopefully they've made padding work in the same way as the V+.

---------- Post added at 21:56 ---------- Previous post was at 21:52 ----------

Then they've failed to make the Tivo as good as the V+ in that aspect.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I certainly would not want padding to be handled like the V+, I don't want the end of a show to appear at the beginning of another recording thats just madness.
