I mean surely the people who are going to sign up to this initially will be the people who have large HD screens and are going to want the HD channels at the start of the EPG.

If that's not possible for some strange contractual reasons can we somehow have a filter on the EPG so we can filter out SD ?

Now we have BBC1 HD, BBC HD, ITV HD, C4HD and Five HD it really is a bit of a wind up expecting us to dig through the epg for them. :dozey:

Really like the idea of a tivo tho

TiVo won't work for you then. :(

Did the engineer say why it can't be rectified for you? Are you far away from the service cab?

Not if you're doing it right. You have a general routine for tuning and processing the signals regardless of whether it is for viewing or recording. Then you have a module to handle viewing and a module for recording. Each of these should be re-usable code so that you could:-

• view multiple channels on each of the outputs (SCART, HDMI, RF, component etc. as applicable)
• view one channel as a picture-in-picture of another channel or the guide (which is just another video source anyway)
• record multiple channels

Some of the recent software changes for the search functionality, for example, don't seem to follow the principle of "reduce, reuse, recycle". The remote control handling routines seem to have been re-written and are not consistent with the behaviour of the remote elsewhere. It's not like there's oodles of spare memory to waste in some of the older boxes, so it's a bad thing in more than one way.

Just out of curiousity do american tivo's have a 3rd tuner installed but not enabled or just two tuners, if 3 tuners do you think they will get an upgrade when we do, if only two tuners I'm surprised they dont upgrade to 3 as so called market leaders in the world of tv.
