No, just a Sergeant. I don`t think Ruperts would ever pass the para selection tests. Para operations are far too demanding a role for any Ruperts. We just had first class officers.

I do not find any problem handling the banter on this Forum, what I resent is being "punished" by people in staff authority for defending myself, a practice I have always done extremely well in life. Then they have the audacity to give me a red blob just because they do not like somebody who fights back.

Every time, the instigator of the fracas gets off free.
This is what I cannot tolerate Hugh. I am certainly no wimp, but I do expect fair treatment. My rule has always been that the person who starts the fight gets the rocket

Re: TiVo
 

Or get a One-For-All remote and program it with all the TiVo functions :-)

Re: TiVo
 

History - problem solved, see previous posts. TiVo and remote now all working perfectly.

Re: TiVo
 

That was going to be my next suggestion if the white logo TiVo remote didn't work.

Re: TiVo
 

I cannot find a means of setting Reminders either in my manual or on the remote.

V+ had this Reminders feature. All I can find on TiVo is Record.

Re: TiVo
 

You can opt for record and remind when setting up a recording, there are no standalone reminders on TiVo.

Re: TiVo
 

Thanks a bundle for your help. At least it was constructive as opposed to other complimentary comments i have received as to my being an idiot who cannot read. They actually quoted me a web link for the TiVo instructions, when I was given a manual in my little hand by the singing and dancing engineer who installed the system. Only an idiot would suggest searching the the web for instructions when the user had been given an official manual.

Grateful thanks
Wittmann

Re: TiVo
 

This explanation was put on the official forum a while ago, and covers it pretty well..

Re: TiVo
 

For your personal information, Wittmann was not on the Forum "a while ago" so whether or not the matter was covered "pretty well" is irrelevant and the poster who helped me answered my question perfectly.

But thanks for the link. I have looked at it and the information is very explanatory.

Can you tell me that in setting a recording, the program will cut in when it begins like a reminder did ?

Re: TiVo
 

But surely, if the answer wasn't it the manual, the next logical step is to try something else - i.e., search the web.

After all, as you stated earlier in this thread, it is important that people Often, when installing software (such as video drivers), the manufacturers instructions don't work - so I google to see if others have had the same issue, and usually find a resolution that way.

btw, I don't remember anyone stating you couldn't read - they highlighted where, in the on-line manual, the appropriate information was.

Re: TiVo
 

I think you're farting against thunder Hugh!

Re: TiVo
 

That's a pleasant turn of phrase, I will have to remember that one :D

Re: TiVo
 

With Record and Remind, the channel will change at the appropriate time and, in addition, will get recorded in case you aren't actually in front of the TV to watch at the time.

Re: TiVo
 

Again, I thank you very much for a quick reply.

Wittman is not really dim, but he does need some kind Samaritan to help him cross the road. That information is for the benefit of my fan club, not for you Robbo.

Re: TiVo
 

Suppose this one could be aimed at me. Next time you ask for some help I'll have no choice but to sit here and watch you flounder. I might be an idiot for suggesting you search the web but remember this:- I'm the idiot who knew the answer long before you did and found the answer by using a bit of intelligence and common sense.

Until the next time you need some help (not that I'll offer any - I'll just taunt you that I know the answer).

Cheers
