That's the TIVO IPad app in the US but I believe Virgin are going to release one.

This whole thing is developing into some form of mass hysteria. It's only another PVR. The only reallly serious advantage over the V+ box is the larger hard drive. If you take into consideration that it has just two tuners (the third is just a maybe), no dynamic epg, the usual as yet unforseen bugs, plus a significant cost to install and subscribe, we really are dealing with a serious case of "The King's New Clothes".

Get a grip folks and don't be drawn in to paying more for a box that does little more than you have already.

If I take into consideration you're obviously not that clued up on the VM TiVo implementation, I'll carry on knowing for a fact that it has 3 tuners.

This has been confirmed by VM themselves, it is physically in the box it just has no software support as of yet.

And isn't that far off being implemented.

Had a quick look at the Tivo in the Glasgow VM store today, couldn't get a demo as they were closing but i'll be passing again tomorrow so will have a demo tomorrow.

Re: TiVo
 
Does anyone know the Cisco model number of the Tivo box?

Also been going through the manual do I understand this correctly:

Quote:
so if your are interrupted during your favourite show, or haven't got time to catch the last few minutes, you can record the saved portion of along with the rest of the show by pressing R and then choosing Record this show
So does this mean that if I hit record halfway through watching a show it will keep then save what is in the buffer a swell?

It's just a software update to enable the third tuner to work, unfortunately I can not go into why or when :)

But it is hoped that it will be enabled for the customer launch.

Re: TiVo
 
Thanks spiderplant just working out how I am going to map my Logitech Harmony One.

Just finished browsing the manual nice to see the box can receive 1080p video which makes it future proof. I am guessing this is still a HDMI 1.3 device?

Re: TiVo
 
Given the similarities between the US and VM TiVo remote controls (no TiVo button on the VM remote) at a guess I'd say you can add PVR > TiVo > TCD-4 as a device on your Harmony One and plan out what you want to map.

I could of course be completely wrong and the VM TiVo remote might use different IR codes!

Re: TiVo
 
On the US version you can schedule recordings from your mobile web browser at tivo.com will this be the same here or will it be via VM website ?:D

Just spoke to a VM tech and he states TIVO is a couple of months off on the North West
