The perfect PVR is within touching distance, VM just need to sort out the EPG mistakes & give it the ability to update in realtime, red button, Box Office, the catchup issues mentioned in the review & the ability for it to have suggestions recorded in HD when available. Then I believe we'll have the greatest set top box on the planet. :)

Wasn't the catch-up problems sorted in one of the update?

Then comes what's proved to be the really hard part: letting the majority of existing customers use the bloody thing! ;)

Interesting that TechRadar & T3 are saying the same thing: It would/will be a Sky+ HD killer if/when certain issues are fixed and polished.



I think this was/is an on-going fix, according to a thread at TCF.

Yeah catchup pretty much works now. There's also iplayer, which sometimes has things not on catchup (in HD if available).

Since the last update Tivo seems to pick HD when it's available (which is somewhat controversial for those who only have SD TVs).

EPG is fine, and for any errors there are feedback channels (eg. the thread on TCF) although I haven't noticed anything major (the one thing I did notice got fixed after it was pointed out.. and in that case Sky had it wrong too..).

Anyone else noticed that the hard drive doesn't stop buffering?

When I first turn my TiVo on in the mornings I can rewind any of the 3 tuners more or less an hour back. I havn't found a need for this yet but a nice touch.

The other handy feature is when you are fast forwarding through adverts. I don't know about anyone else but not matter how quick your reactions are you never press play quick enough when the adverts stop and have to rewind back a little so you don't miss anything. When you press play on TiVo it actually skips back around 10-15 seconds automatically. I believe this is from the old TiVo's and I find it quite handy (Sad I know)

There's no need to delete them. They'll be deleted automatically when the space is required.
