Yes a win would be nice.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

This reminds me of the (one) time a similar issue hit the old Series 1. That was sorted in around the same sort of time-frame too :)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Can you transfer recorded content from Tivo on to a DVD via a DVDR? Thanks for any advice:)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

via the Scart socket in real time, yes you can

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Thanks Ben that was kind :)

My TiVo hard drive is getting really noisy now and recordings are skipping. If I phone VM and I need a replacement TiVo box can I back up my recordings, thumbs ups and wish lists?

I have the launch 1TB.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Its not possible, you will lose everything unless you copy your recordings in real time to a DVD Recorder via SCART

Damn that's gutting, should be a way for a VM engineer to back up your old box and transfer it to your new TiVo.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I'm not sure cloud backup of whole drives will ever be possible, but I would hope that SL/WL backup might be implemented at some point.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Hopefully Virgin will be looking into doing that at some point in the future. Gutting to lose your entire content. I so nearly did that the other week, went to do a restart and for some reason (I was half asleep) I went into reset everything. Luckily Virgin have that press such and such then such and such to go ahead screen otherwise I would have lost a lot of stuff.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Not to take the drama out of that - but that is exactly why the extra steps are there.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Good job, stops idiots like me when half asleep to do jobs like that on a TiVo box.

I know there's copyright laws around back up and copying data etc, but they could do it so just VM engineers can access it for when boxes break.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

It's less about that and more about the fact that TiVo isn't desgined to allow a wholesale transfer from one box to another

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Aside from the legalities, (a) it would take far too long, and (b) boxes are often replaced for faulty hard drives, so you couldn't get the data off anyway.
