1. press the SLOW button to toggle mini tv on/off

2. sounds like the recording interrrupted for some reason, like a reboot?

Hi DF

In relation to Q1 in my case the live tv window is replaced with just the TiVo red background not the recommendation banner, I will try the Slow button to rectify that issue hopefully in the future, seems to be a bug in my mind!

Q2 the actual film length should have been 1hr 30mins but the 2 partial recordingS totalled 6mins less:confused: does a reboot take that amount of time, I know allot is happening on a TiVo reboot!

The funny thing was the film was called The Broken:D

That sounds about the right amount of time for a TiVo reboot to me.

The interesting thing if it was a reboot is how the box reacted to a disrupted recording, would the V+ continued recording afterwards?

Your box definately sounds like it rebooted and the slow button (turns it on or off) seems like the resolution for the preview window. However the interupted recording is where the TiVo excells (sounds strange) but it should pick a repeat of "The Broken" in the days to come.

I don't think I ever want to see that film ever again, I feel the oh Great Tivo was trying to tell me something, don't waste your eyes on this film as life is to short:D

I've had my TiVO for a week now and the only niggles are BBC Iplayer when the viewing interupts itself i.e. the spinning disc it doesn't resume from the last point you were watching. It restarts from the beginning. Some of the catchup programmes don't work, viewing them just takes me back to the On Demand menu. Other than that it's a million times more responsive that the V+ so I'll never go back to that now.

I would think that the last part would make some people happy in the long run? But in the here and now would be annoyed?

We appreciate that this might not be what some of you wanted to hear but we’d rather be upfront about the need to disable this feature for the time being.

gearing up for the launch of new red button services
I thought the last update laid the groundwork for the red button services so why another update :confused:
