Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Any chance you could give us a quick synopsis of what is in your links when posting?

I find it infuriating that I have to click on a link to find out what it relates to!

Pretty bad forum etiquette. :rolleyes:

No. The apps don't work in a way that a tuner can record it, just as you cannot record the red button on the older boxes.

Bang goes that idea.

This is likely true.

Just to keep you updated with VM multiroom streaming. After losing an hour and three quarters of my life on the phone to VM, this is all I have found out. I was first put through to their supposed technical department. They were unaware about this feature, or should I say more to the fact that it was now available from the latest software update. I had more information on the feature than they did. After being passed from pillar to post, I was informed that this feature would be active early next year, but no specific date was available. One girl did tell me that they did not have a fault platform in place for the feature until next year.

Multiroom Streaming will likely be in one of the feature updates which will be very soon ie early in the new year.

What is a fault platform :confused:

I imagine it is something like he fact that MRS has not gone live so the help desk can't help you with any questions as they have not been given any training, there is no info on the system and they can't raise a fault.

Its the same where I work we get calls all the time for systems that are in pilot but have not gone live so my team can't assist as we have no info and nor can we raise a ticket as the item does not exist on the system. Although i could be totally wrong.

Virgin Media is also in discussion with other entertainment and content providers as part of its ongoing strategy to provide the most complete entertainment experience for its customers.

This likely means Virgin Media are in talks with Lovefilm and Netflix.

It is also vague enough that they could be talking to Jesus about a sitcom featuring his return to earth.

aka

Its vague to make you think of companies but people don't particularly want to hear those thoughts.

On TiVo it accesses the web streams rather than using VOD servers.

This is one point where the old V+ boxes have the upper hand in my opinion. I much preferred the sever based delivery method VM used previously.

TiVo has the full BBC iPlayer content that is on at the same time as the web. It doesn't have to wait for VM to upload to their VOD servers.

That's not normal behaviour, btw. For some reason the TiVo iPlayer app was unusually slow last night.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

interesting on the iplayer. so as its the web version you get more content quicker (a plus) but being web based you don't have the same control of being able to fast forward etc which is annoying unless I'm missing something!
