Just you wait! If and when I get my hands on a Tivo and I discover just how much you have been pulling the wool over our eyes you might consider a career change. I believe that there are vacancies in that other media company............what is it called?.............S.........K......?

Love you really DF!:luv:

I am really looking forward to Tivo, but I am only going to be home for next week, for install. Guess 30th well be too late and I will just have to be patient!

I think my SA looks great, I wish I could find a HTPC case which looks similar. It's got a front display which I use all the time and is missing from the Tivo box.

It's even got the lights up when it's off gimmick :D

My SA box has just started palying up, not loading EPG so missed recordings etc, but will hang on to it until TIVO arrives. I am on VIP50

Just updating the PVR comparsion document, and I have a quick question for....well, anyone who knows: Do you still have to pay the HD activation charge to receive HD channels on TiVo?

Thanks,

No. The TiVo fee covers HD activation as well

So that makes the Tivo £100 if you do not have HD already:erm:

I suppose you could look at it that way.

Doesn't actually change how much you have to pay

Here is the list of other changes that were rolled out from the third tuner activation. This information was taken from the Virgin Media Community Tivo forum (or maybe it wasn't if I'm not allowed to quote things from there!):

•3rd Tuner support
•Recommendations improved by incorporating customer collaborative Thumbs data into the Discovery bar and recorded recommendations
•Box no longer displays ‘Channel not authorised’ during normal channel changes
•Customers no longer PIN challenged on watershed compliant channels
•Bookmarks supported in Movies
•Trailers now available and working for movies
•STB no longer reboots when return path is lost.
•Green button now links to catch-up content correctly
• Music playlist fixes
• Metadata improvements
• Quicker to restore TV service after reboot
• Medium description utilised in VoD screens (adds rating guidance information)
• User presented with choice of HD or SD assets in ‘Get from On Demand’ screen
• Front panel LED’s now function when box is in standby

Agree seems an odd way of looking at it.

Re: TiVo
 
There is one thing that annoys me with Tivo. The Suggestions never seem to record the HD versions of films. There should be some sort of option to prioritise HD recordings over SD.

Re: TiVo
 
Umm silly question I know, but when is the general release for TiVo?
