Cable Forum - TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2

If you've part viewed a program it'll start from where you stopped it last time, or as has been said there is the option to skip forward in chunks. That's good enough for me, at least.

A lot of things that people consider a step back are options you find on less advanced boxes. People have to realise that Tivo is different to what's gone before and requires an attitude adjustment for the end user as much as anything - if you're going to fill it full of functions that older pvr's already do then you might as well save the effort and continue to support the old tech. I came from Sky+hd and when I got V+, well, THAT was a step back. Tivo? Well thats the future!

I agree with you however the V+ and Sky+ way of starting something at a desired point of a programme is easier than the method you and Hugh describe , plus I prefer the ability to see whats been viewed , part viewed etc. I accept TIVO is different however that doesn't mean every feature is better.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

sorry if this has been asked before but i know that tivo has 3 tuners but on the front it has 4 tuner lights and im a bit confussed on why this is, is there a 4th turner that isnt activated or is it just a design thing?

Fair enough. I thought it was just a passing comment they had thrown in.

As it happens, the lack of front panel display is my number one complaint about the TiVo too. But I have different priorities. :)

IIRC the 4th light is a download light. It lights up when the TiVo is downloading an update.

Yep, and at other times during startup.

It's both. :)

There is actually a 4th tuner used for the cable modem, but its light is one of the green ones on the left.

I ordered a TiVo today for install on 18th jan as my area (Harlow) is apparently very busy,having my V+ installed on a tv i am buying for the bedroom,and the TiVo in the main living room on the big set,got a cracking good deal on keeping the V+ and having cabling installed in the bedroom and by keeping the V+ i will still have access to sky sports Red Button until TiVo gets it,Oh well i have taken the plunge now.:);)
