Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

just had the Tivo installed and have to say i think its brilliant.

Little tweeks maybe neeeded here and there but an absolutely superb piece of kit IMO.

It replaced a 10 year old? :shocked: V box and i was currently using a sky+HD - which it makes look like something decrepit and badly dated.

the whole concept is just different class.

i was concerned by some of the criticisms but really take the plunge.

a clutch of missing HD channels? is that really sky's whip hand now?

A lot of Skys trump cards have been took away , remote record , HD epg , and as you say the HD gap is closing. Wait until the ipad app and multiroom arrive , I have to say I'm considering my options after my 12 months with Sky.

No I don't think so but I prefer to bundle my services together so probably easier to wait until out of contract with all.

Is it because E Bay is in beta that I can't sign in?

Yes I do believe that is true, But now you mention this I want to ask one thing for the peeps that are on the 15.2 software.

When scrolling back on the EPG is the time now shown on the right had side (not the left when you go forward) As I'am sure this was mentioned at one point?

The main change with the guide seems to be past events. The channel names now appear on the RHS when in the past. The good news is that the catch up links now work properly - I've tried both BBC and ITV programs and they click right through to the correct show (not in their apps, within the TiVo framework, though they stream from their relevent players when played of course). The response time within the on-demand shows themselves is still very slow. You can press the index right button to jump 5 minutes at at time.

The current time is on the right all of the time (underneath the mini-screen).

If you mean the programme time, then that stays above the listings, with the date and channel name switching to the right when going backwards.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

If a sports event over runs would a TiVo know and record the end?

Nope, because it doesn't have a dynamic EPG. So they have no way of telling it that a programme has overrun, or even tell it of a late schedule change.

TiVo will advise you to add padding when you record any live events. yes you can also set a manual recording.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Had Tivo installed half an houir ago and still waiting for it to connect. The engineer said it is a network fault and we will just have to wait for it to be cleared - NOT very pleased.

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 06:53.
