Re: TiVo
 

Sorry my bad, just noticed it doesn't change :dunce: that figure isnt totally accurate and I believe it will in a future update.

Re: TiVo
 

Thanks for that information, however what happens if the 22.00 recording is of the same priority? Does the padding gets cut off and the 22.00 recording starts on time and not 5 minutes later.

The reason I ask this is that we set up virtually all of our recordings as series links so that would create this scenario of the 3 recordings you have with the same priority. On V+ the padding is simply cut off the end of the 21.00 recording to allow the 22.00 recording to start on time. In fact what is the point of recording anything with the first 5 minutes missing unless there is an absolute priority for the previous recording?

I hope the answer is for recording clashes where the priority is the same for the padding to be cut off the 21.00 recording to allow the 22.00 recording of same priority to start at 22.00 i.e. padding only stays on a 21.00 recording if it is at a higher priority than the 22.00 recording, not if the priority is the same.

The other factor is that we regularly watch live TV while recording 2 other programmes on other channels. So in this case it seems that if you are watching live TV when 3 tuners are activated later this month, only 2 tuners are available for recording for your scenario so the clash will happen more often than you think. However, in this situation, just cutting off the 5 minutes padding is best since most of the time programmes complete on time but a delay of recording for the 22.00 programme is almost 100% going to mean missing the start of the programme.

However, I believe a new feature Tivo has is that if you happen to be watching a previous recording, Tivo will use 3 tuners to record your 3 21.00 and 1 22.00 programme including padding overlap on the 2 21.00 programmes. I thought a tuner was required to watch a programme even recorded but must be wrong, not technical enough to know! However, I’m not sure what happens though if you just happen to finish watching your recording during the 5 minute overlap, guess it would notify you with an alert that Tivo would have to stop recording a programme (must be the 5 minute padding of one of the 21.00 programmes not the start of the 22.00 programme, assuming same priority for all 3) for you to decide?

Finally, the V+ has the option for you to set priority between planned series, planned programmes and manual recordings, where you have to set a priority. Does Tivo offer you any more options, how about disabling priority at all? The fact that it is a series or planned programme does not dictate priority to what we want to watch, so just wondering if it is possible to set the same priority for anything planned and then if padding is cut off for any clashes or planned/series recording with the same priority, that would be fine with me!

Re: TiVo
 

Don't think that's possible. Even within Series links I think you can set the priority

Re: TiVo
 

Is the TIVO epg data updated regular during the day ?

Re: TiVo
 

I don’t have Tivo yet so not exactly sure of priority settings, was referring to my SA V+ where you can set priories by planned series, planned recordings and manual recordings, but not by priority of your multiple series recording as I believe you are referring to. So is this something extra available in Tivo?

But the actual point is that I do want to record all planned series recordings so want them all on the same priority and certainly do not want 2 series recordings say at 21.00 with 5 minutes padding so I don’t miss the end of those programmes, then cutting off the first 5 minutes of the 22.00 series planned recording. So if you set the priority of all planned series recordings the same then what happens with the scenario presented? Does Tivo cut off the 5 minute padding at the end of the 21.00 recording to start recording the 22.00 series recording of equal priority, if you can deliberately set equal priority for all series recordings setup, or are you forced to try and manipulate priority on an individual recording basis or just set 0 padding and keep your fingers crossed every programme starts and finishes on time, until VM produce this software update on the padding issue planned in September?

Perhaps the way around this is to make the 22.00 recording a higher priority than the 2 21.00 recordings if you can set priority on a per recording basis with series setup, but this could be on a whole per series basis not individual recordings of programmes in a series.

I just want to record all 3 series programmes in this scenario with the minimal manipulation of priorities/padding and certainly not have the risk that if padding is set at the end of the 21.00 recordings, they do not cut off the first 5 minutes of the 22.00 recording. Better to take the chance of the off event when a programme is slightly delayed (so end of a 21.00 recorded programme is lost when 22.00 programme starts recording) which is very infrequent, rather than have the guarantee of missing the first 5 minutes of the following recording if the padding/priority settings cause this.

Would really like to sort this out before I get my Tivo, perhaps those who have a Tivo already could try out the scenario of 3 recordings and see what can be set up to make sure the 22.00 recording does take priority at 22.00?

Re: TiVo
 

I believe it's every 20 minutes or so?

Re: TiVo
 

...then as a maths teacher, you should have stated an assumption which you made. The amount of space used is also dependent on the bitrate of the broadcasting channel. Each minute of HD or SD does not take up the same space. Your calculation assumes that it does.

Re: TiVo
 

My friend had his fitted on Thursday and he doesn't even have a Virgin TV package. All he had was 10mb Broadband. He got a call telling him he could have it for £149 fitted plus £3 a month if he signed up for XL TV.
Looks like the listed rollout of VIP, XL and then new customers was BS. Again new customers get priority.
Hapy for him but annoyed with with Virgin

Re: TiVo
 

Clearly there are errors in the customer database.

Re: TiVo
 

1080i is still a 1920 x 1080 resolution frame, the i means interlaced (every other line on the screen is drawn on each pass) rather than progressive (every line is drawn on every pass).

1440x1080 is nothing to do with anything in broadcast TV - in fact, its not even the correct aspect ratio for widescreen TV (1440x1080 would be a 4:3 aspect ratio, not the 16:9 widescreen TV uses)

Re: TiVo
 

I sort of did here:

"Your mileage may vary Thats real world useage on my TiVo. Its 7% full so just multiplied the recorded hours by 100 and divided by 7, after converting all the hd recordings to sd by x by 4. And then dividing the sd recordings by 4 to double check.

Its as accurate a figure without getting to complicated. My ratio of sd to hd recordings are 1:2. So the HD figure will be more accurate than the SD.

Regards

John. "

I thought it was implicit that the bitrate was altering so its as accurate without getting more complicated. The more complicated bit would be taking much more samples to eliminate as much as possible differences in bitrate between channels programs and sd/hd.

I do intend to do this to get a more accurate estimate over time.

regards

John.

Re: TiVo
 

It seems to me that tivo has a very complicated method of doing padding, whereas V+ did it perfectly with no user intervention. Why not just implement the V+ method on Tivo?

Re: TiVo
 

I would suspect its not that easy , and maybe over time you would just get used to TIVO's way who knows.

Re: TiVo
 

This is TiVo a product that has been around for about ten years. They can't just change the way it has always worked as a couple of people think the V+ did padding better.

Re: TiVo
 

Why not, VirginMedia are the customer, and we are the customers of VM. If the customers request that they want a particular function (just like a third tuner), then TIVO should respond to the request

Re: TiVo
 

Out of interest, do you think Tivo does it better than V+?

toady makes a very good point.

Re: TiVo
 

Hardly a couple of people, seen plenty of comments here complaining about the padding and VM have acknowledged there is an issue, since they are implementing an update in September to change the padding approach. If it was fine, they would not need to do anything.

Re: TiVo
 

I for one have not had any issues. Yes there are some recordings that start right at the beginning of the show but nothing that means I have missed anything.

I do think that once the 3rd tuner is active it will sort out the padding 'issues' some people are having.

Re: TiVo
 

Stephen, do you know if the TIVO team aware that some people have asked for padding to be mplemented as it is on V+?

Re: TiVo
 

I get the feeling this relationship isn't going to work like that :)

Re: TiVo
 

Well good to hear at least.

I've just seen nobody state what happens when the 22:00 recording is the same priority as the 21:00 recordings with 5 minutes padding, which could be the case if all these recordings are series recordings.

Is the 5 minute end padding dropped on one of the 21.00 recordings to allow the 22.00 recording to start when they all have the same priority, because that is what you really want?

This is what happens right now on V+ and I have to say with 3 tuners and while watching a live programe I'm not recording, I've had padding dropped on the 2 other recordings when there are back to back programmes scheduled to record. Perfectly happy for the padding to be dropped, just want to check the same happens with Tivo, be it that right now you have to set up invidual recording padding which I could live with until September.

Re: TiVo
 

To be fair my V+ has missed the start and the end of shows although not very often , its mostly reliable. Anybody heard anymore about the TIVO 500gb box ?

Re: TiVo
 

I have just tried to set a remote record,via the website and says that I don't have an active TiVo, do I have ring VM to activate the box?, or will it be automatically activated ( TiVo was installed yesterday)

Re: TiVo
 

Thanks weesteev

Re: TiVo
 

Thanks.

Re: TiVo
 

No, because there is no concept of "same priority" in TIVO. You have to prioritise your series links in the management screen. That then determines priority of recordings. As I said in my post last night, if the 22.00 show has a higher priority then it will clip lower priority padding. However, your worst case scenario is that the 22.00 show is lower priority than both 21.00 recordings, in which case you will lose the first 5 minutes of the 22.00 show.

The only scenario I'm not sure about is if all 3 recordings are on-offs in which case I'm not sure if they are all equal priority. The logical way to do that is that the later recording gets the priority and clips off padding on the previous. One to test out I guess.

I think we're all in agreement that the V+ system is preferable. It may be that in the US padding is far less important because they have so many damn adverts ! It's only BBC stuff over here that frequently runs over the hour.

Re: TiVo
 

I have just had a word with customer service and she claims to know nothing about Tivo or whether its rolling out.
Again since December Virgins communication has been nothing short of shambolic.

Re: TiVo
 

Yes I think you have highlighted the fundamental issue with Tivo right now as you are saying you are forced to set a priority over different individual series recordings, so I have to set a different priority for recording House on Sky 1 and Being Human on BBC3 if on at the same time and then there is something else at 10am I want to record as well. Tivo is trying to be too clever since I want to watch all and if something has to be sacrificed, it will be the padding at the end of the 9am programme, not the start of the programme at 10am! The way around this I guess is always to set the 10pm programme on a higher priority than one of the 9am programmes so that it will force cut off of the padding on the 9am recording, so a work around anyway but have to apply for every back to back recording?

You are right about BBC, ever tried starting a recording and discovering you have just missed the first 2 minutes of the programme because you were forced to give a higher priority to the previous porgramme, very annoying. My wife will throw Tivo through the window if it does much of that!

Re: TiVo
 

I hadn't realised that tivo had to have priorities set, but thinking about it, it's the only way if it's going to chop things, including padding.

I've never set a priority on V+ because if it highlighted a clash, I sorted it out with a repeat or +1 channel, and it automatically dropped padding where needed.

It's good to know the tivo team know that people have requested the V+ system, but I do fear they may let the tivo system prevail and just add a global option to add padding.

Re: TiVo
 

I have given up on winning a Tivo as I am sure i would have heard by now Still it does say to give until 20th march but a lot of people seem to have heard by now

Re: TiVo
 

Been following this topic for a while, thought I'd let you all know got the call today saying I was a winner from the raffle. So there is still hope for some. and I'm in the Irlam area of greater Manchester.

Re: TiVo
 

I will keep everything crossed thanks for letting me know and welcome to the forum

Re: TiVo
 

I think you are getting too hung up on this padding thing. Remember it's TiVo and although VM are working with TiVo on this it's primarily their system that we are using so although they will add some features that VM want, they probably will not want to edit their system too much, changing the core functionality.

Until you have used it and also until the third tuner is active I would not pass judgement. Yes the V+ let's you set priority for series links or one off recordings. However TiVo let's you choose priority over which series link in more important.

For me this has been much better, due to the 3 or 4 really important links being at the top of my list and stuff I want to record but am not as bothered abo ut go at the bottom. I have never missed any of the shows. Yes sometimes the recordings start right at the beginning of the show but I have never missed more than 30 seconds of a show.

As for actual clashes, TiVo will smartly try to record the next showing of an episode if it can't record due to a clash.

I usually set a padding of 2 mins at the start and end of a series link and for some one off shows I tend not to add padding at all.

Re: TiVo
 

indeed, TiVo is a lot smarter than V+.

---------- Post added at 16:30 ---------- Previous post was at 16:26 ----------

Customer services won't know anything as it hasn't officially launched just yet.

You should of had an email telling you VM will be in touch near the end of March... the last few raffle winners are being contacted before 20th.

As I've posted before, you will get an email telling you how to order online... you will then be able to choose an install date.

VM will not be calling any pre-regs just keep an eye out for an email from the TiVo Team. :)

---------- Post added at 16:59 ---------- Previous post was at 16:57 ----------

Am I right in thinking that TIVO will always prioritise your recordings before suggestions ?

Re: TiVo
 

Yes. And as has been said above, how it does the rest is up to you.

Re: TiVo
 

Thanks for that hadn't noticed it :D

Re: TiVo
 

No arguments there; in that aspect tivo is a big advantage over the V+. It's a shame that bit of TIVO couldn't be combined with the V+ padding features, but as Stephen says, this is a TIVO, and I sense the chances of V+ type padding being added are extreemly remote, even though it is a more sensible method

I hope you're right and in practice, and there won't be a problem; the third tuner will definitely help. The days of my 5 minutes before and after padding are probably over though... :)

Re: TiVo
 

Honestly you will not need the five minutes each side of the recordings. I use 2 at most and that is more than enough. However as has been mentioned TiVo is smarter than V+ and since I started using TiVo I haven't once used my V+.

Re: TiVo
 

When I first get tivo I'll be setting zero padding, until I can expeiment with some 'test' shows.


5 minuets was probably more than necessary, but that's where V+ excelled in padding functionlity, it caught the odd show that needed it but didn't affect back to back shows.

I know we're all meant to bow down to the "Great TIVO", but not acknowledging that V+ did some things better, is just wrong in my view. You can still say that overall, TIVO is a far superior product (which I think is the case) whilst admitting that V+ did some things better (upcaling SD is possibly another one).

Re: TiVo
 

To anyone who has TiVo installed:

Is there an 'Interactive' Option like Menu - Option 7 (I think) on the V+?

I don't remember seeing it on the screen shots posted here and elsewhere. I only really use it to check the BBC teletext feature. Would be a shame to not have it on TiVo but not the end of the world as I'll just flip to freeview for it

Re: TiVo
 

I have to say that my first impressions of TIVO ( after having it a while ) are brilliant and would well be worth the £149.

1 - The BBC I-PLAYER App has more shows on it than the catch up service.
2 - The YOU-TUBE App has good videos ( picture quality on some are dire ).
3 - The recording is brilliant as i have not messed with anything, but have not missed the start or end of anything that i have recorded.
4 - It is brilliant if something gets deleted that you are able to recover the item.
E.T.C

I would NOT like to apologise for my rant yesterday as i meant what i said.

P.S i have to say that i love my TIVO and also on a last note YOU HAD ME AT TIVO:D:D:D[COLOR="Silver"]

No i have not come across one as yet?

Re: TiVo
 

Not currently, no. There is a Weather App though.

BBC interactive will be added at some point, the first step was BBC iPlayer, which was launched last week.

Re: TiVo
 

Anyway back to TIVO were going off track. :D how long did your install take.

Re: TiVo
 

It took less than a hour and i had to help out the installers with a few things as one was on training and the other had only installs with the principal tech. So that is why they said that they come back after i had a play with the box ( they never came back though ).:erm:

Re: TiVo
 

What are your opinions on

A. SD PQ
B. Speed throughout the menus

When I used the TiVo in the VM store I found the SD to be similar to my V+ and the menus seemed quick enough to me however this doesnt beat playing around with it in your own home.

Re: TiVo
 

Yes, it has more content and radio too

Re: TiVo
 

To one person, a particular post can be a rant; to another it is a valid discussion point.

Personally, I've found this thread generally rant free.

Re: TiVo
 

The answers to your questions are:

1 - The SD picture seems the same as the V-HD BOX ( do not have side to side comparison for the V+HD BOX as they are in different rooms )

2 - The speed through the menus are quick and good they were only slow after install but have sped up since.

P.S In regards to playing around with it in your own home, you will go blind:erm::D:D:D

It was not one post it was multiple posts that got me.:confused:

Re: TiVo
 

FYI, I tested the behaviour with one-off manual recordings rather than series links. As expected, the later recording clips padding off one of the earlier ones. So in this respect it is the same as V+.

I guess if TiVo just did away with prioritisation of series links then it would be exactly the same.

Re: TiVo
 

Presumably the 2nd recording was higher priority?

As I understand it, if the first recording had higher priority, the padding of the first programme would have been recorded and the first part of the second programme would have been clipped, assuming both other tuners were tied up recording something else.

Re: TiVo
 

Now do you, thanks for the comment.:)

Re: TiVo

I'm the same as you; having to keep trimming the V+; 17 hours left ATM with a 1 hour HD show and a couple of 1 hour SD shows to record tonight, so I'll be down to 11 hours. I have an HD recording that won't delete that's causing part of the problem

But I suspect the amount of new customers getting them is a very small number and probaby a compter error, so it doesn't bother me, much as I'd like Tivo ASAP.

Me, I save my "peeve" for frozen pay, worries about a ongoing enonomic slump, figuring out how to pay for two kids at Uni, concerns about having to make colleagues redundant, rising bills, etc etc, rather than getting a little peeved about space on my V+.....;)

Re: TiVo
 

I guess it's a paradigm shift. Coming from my media center with 1TB (and HD was MPEG4) I had plenty of room to stack stuff up. We've finally started watching Bedlam tonight and got through three episodes which has freed up a buttload of space. I just want that freedom back!

Re: TiVo
 

Swings, roundabouts - you move from your previous setup to V+ for some benefits.

You must have thought those benefits outweighted the shortfalls.

That should silence the sceptics. Are you happy with your TiVo? Have you discovered any bugs?

Re: TiVo
 

No, I was testing the scenario where all recordings are manual one-offs NOT series links.

The priority we know so far is:

1. Manual one-off recordings.
2 Series links, in order specified in the series link mgt screen
3. Tivo suggestions.

We have already established what happens with series links, so I just repeated the test with all manual recordings, and the results show it gives priority to the later recording and clips the previous.

Re: TiVo
 

I had my TiVo installed on Thursday. I was so excited I think the engineer thought I was a bit odd, especially when I showed him my TiVo cuddly toy. It was only his third install and the first to an ex Series 1 user. The install took less than an hour. The engineer didn't understand why the EPG was taking so long to fill up, so from what I remembered of the old TiVo, I managed to find the Network screen which showed that it was still organising the data. On the old TiVo this could take hours but the Virgin TiVo did it in minutes.

My first impression was that I was overwhelmed. It is so very, very good. It is absolutely brilliant to have the old TiVo features back. Even simple things like the progress bar that shows where in the buffer you are. It was just like coming in from the freezing cold.

It's so easy to find all my favourite programmes to record, even ones that aren't on yet via wishlists. It's also amazing the information available about each programme, including cast lists, episode lists and other similar programmes. Everything is so accessable. The EPG is also pretty good and fast to navigate. Navigating menus can have pauses at times but nothing too major.

The best thing is that I no longer have to know when and what channel a programme is on. It is just so easy to find programmes or have them suggested to you. TiVo takes all the effort out of finding what you want to watch.

It's all the little features that also make this so great. The 30 second skip forward, the buffer that doesn't go away when you go to the guide or the menu. Not having to confirm that you want to go to live TV when you've been watching delayed TV. The list goes on.

So far I've had a couple of glitches which were fixed by reboots. First I lost the 30 second skip forward and then the tuners got stuck. Every time I picked a channel from the EPG it would go to the same single channel. I would have to press info and select the other tuner from the bottom of that screen.

I expect to come across other glitches but these are far, far outweighed by the benefits of the new features.

My expectations of the Virgin TiVo were high and they have been very much exceeded. The Virgin TiVo is just brilliant. It's got all the great features of the series 1 plus so much more. I am one happy bunny.

Re: TiVo
 

My weather App seems to be operating 2 weeks in the past for some reason.

And I've got a feature request for you DF. From the Guide if you highlight a show and hit record it gives you an option to record. It would be similarly useful to be able to highlight a planned recording in the Guide, press record and see an option to cancel the recording. Without having to go into the other menus.

Re: TiVo
 

Are you sure?

Because, by the amount of sound and fury being generated in this and other forums, you would think that some people would give up their first-born to be at the head of the queue, and would lynch anyone else who has been given "priority", if it would jump them ahead of the rest.....;)

Re: TiVo
 

Just had my tivo installed,Took less than a hour.First impressions very slick,Couple of questions for the experts-
1.Only showing todays tv guide,I assume it will take a while to show longer
2.Tried catch up ,Doesnt seem to have the option to start part way thru the program like v+ or am i doing something wrong

Re: TiVo
 

1 - It will take a while as it will still be downloading all the data.
2 - I have noticed this so i am not sure of this one.

Re: TiVo
 

Re No.2, no it doesn't have that option yet, although it might appear in a future software update hopefully. You can, however, jump forward in 15 minute chunks, so shouldn't take too long to get to where you want to be.
