They've added Hersham and Peteborough to the pilot areas between today and the 16th

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Is this to test new additions/amendments to the 15.2 update? Seems strange to add two new areas out of the blue.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

As far as I'm aware only change to the pilot software is the fix for the PBS EPG issue

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

So what is the point of the two new test areas? Is there something I'm missing?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Probably to make sure when the code drop is sent in one go (including the PBS issue fix) it all goes ok.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

So...TiVo was installed today and although I've only had a short time to play the new menu system is gorgeous.

It feels really quick and yes there are a couple of issues such as lower res menus, but hopefully they'll be fixed.

One thing - why do some channels appear with bigger fonts than others? (in TV guide menu)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

I think it depends on the length of the channel name, it tries to change the font size to fit more in.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Just had my Tivo installed today :-)
Took 30 minutes to crash so badly I had to switch it off to reboot [reset didn't work] :-(
At least the guides and menus are no longer blurry.....

When setting a series link is it necessary to always set it to record 1-3 minutes longer, to avoid missing the end of something?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

The TiVo doesn't have a dynamic EPG so it is best to add padding to programmes where the ending is critical. Some BBC programmes have a tendency to start before scheduled time.

The TiVo is still the best PVR by miles! Enjoy!:)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Isn't automatic padding going to be added in the comming update?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Im certain its the box, 100%

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

There seems to be a few who have had issues with TIVO boxes failing at install , are they generally reliable ?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Up until 3 weeks ago they were good, something changed, been replacing quite a few recently

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

Are the 500gb and 1 TB exactly the same component wise ? My parents have a 500gb install at the end of this month.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
 

The terabytes were built ages ago, just sitting in the warehouse, 500gb are selling like mad so are a new batch. My opinion is that the newer batches aren't built as good as the old ones as TiVo faults have only really picked up over the last few weeks
