Wishlists aren't working either, I've set a wishlist that Vidic will stop getting away with red card offenses, but lo and behold...

In the review above it says....
"You can view what's on each tuner without switching to it (via the Info bar) and of course, change the channel on that tuner".

Now i can view the other 2 tuners and click on them and even rewind them! But HOW do i "change the channel on that tuner"?

Or is it just a case of the last channel you have been on becomes one of the tuners, as it seems over complicated that way, please tell me i am missing something simple?

Cheers in advance guys.

About 60% of which are of no interest to me.

However as we were setting it up, it told us that various ones would clash with other programmes I have set to record.

SO I went in to check planned recordings... they were listed as it was going to record them all (even though repeats) so this doesnt work properly.

Also what is the point in recording hiccups and why does it list every single episode and not put them into folders so that you dont have to scroll through every single episode.

Nice one Tivo! I can see we are going to get along very well!

How do suggestions work? If u like it does it just keep recording it or do you have to set a series link?

Is a suggestion just a one off?

Originally Posted by Andy1 (Post 35226983)

Yes they are just single shows - if you decided you wanted to start recording the series you would need to set a series link. A wishlish could also be set to look out for specific episodes from earlier in that series or past series if you wanted.

Thats what you would do if you were, for example, wanting to retain a buffer for 2 sporting events.

I could be wrong (maybe these pills I'm on are causing me to hallucinate) but I'm sure I saw on my TiVo a couple of weeks back that upon changing channels it scrolls through the available tuners so if you decide to go back to the previous channel you still have a buffer??

Having run some tests it doesn't do this anymore and just sticks on 1 tuner unless the channel selected happens to be on another tuner in which case you do get a buffer.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

You can switch between the buffered channels and set what channels they are covering by pressing 'info' and scrolling down to the bottom option. Is that you meant?

Originally Posted by Digital Fanatic (Post 35227079)

press info and scroll down to RRR to swap between different tuners, you should be able to have 3 buffers going if nothing is recording

You need to buffer another channel by doing it on the info section of the tuners then when you have the channels buffeting that you want you can use last channel button to change. Otherwise changing channels directly erases the buffer and starts rebuffering on new channel.

I have gone back through the listings for BBC News for the past month and occasionally a late update for Click with episode details is released - but maybe too late for TiVo to use. But Click is not always shown in all of the time slots - so that is not even a 100% pattern.

The other important thing to remember, is that it being a news channel the programme can be dropped without any notice. But if it has correct weekly data in TiVo and TiVo records the dropped event - it will not automatically record it later,

This is the listings for Click for next week - looking at it how do you work out what the different is between any episode. Is every episode going to be a 30 minute episode (or 15 minutes), which is the NEW episode - and are all the episodes the same edition?

Also, they have programme info for the last edition - but that seems to relate to an episode weeks ago. So is it a repeat from weeks ago or is it an error? It is not flagged as a repeat so is it NEW?

If anybody can come up with a system which will not get complaints of missing episodes - then I'll ask if it can be reviewed.

I suspect there isn't any logic as such at the moment. It is simply recording what other people with similar tastes have thumbed. So if they thumbed the SD versions, that's what you get.

I wonder what happens if you habitually thumb-up HD programmes and thumb-down the SD equivalent?

You can't thumb up the show on an HD channel and then down on SD because once you thumb it up on the HD channel it'll also be thumbed up on the SD channel as well, because Tivo will see it's the exact same show.

HD Suggestions would eat up more disk space, meaning less suggestions for you to try out, and if you did like a suggestion, surely you would create a HD Series Link based on that suggestion?

Besides, the decision to like or dislike a suggestion would surely come down to the content of the programme and not what resolution its broadcasted at, no?

I agree that the option to specify HD for suggestions would be good for people who desire it. Personally, I would put adding reminder functionality first (but that's just me ;)).

whats worse is a lot of the C4 suggestions are being recorded from the AD channel.

Now it just takes me to the main On Demand window and i have to do it that way, so obviously something has changed with mine. I keep thinking every day it will sort itself out, but it's still doing it :confused:
