Now that VM have got the link into TiVo via TV Anywhere, there may be options they can add to that

When l had a problem on my TiVo box, they attempted to repair it, but failed and they replaced the box - l lost everything that was recorded.

Did you eventually find out what the problem actually was, Arthur? Just interested to know. I can't think there's much to go wrong in them, really.

Hi Carlwaring, the engineers said that there was a problem on the cable coming into the house, not enough power.
And that the original engineer was sending more power up to a second box, normal box causing problems on that one.

Eventually they checked the TiVo box and found that the box needed replacing - they wouldn't give a reason. All the power coming into the house has been increased to hits full capacity. Each engineer called gave a different reason for the fault, but we wasn't told anything until l said l was ghoing back to Sky. Then they told us that the box was faulty.

You can't really blame VM for any restrictions that broadcasters impose. This is probably why there are limited channels streaming at the moment too as contracts need to be re-negotiated.

I can understand that carl,But come on mate they have been talking about streaming content from when the tivo first came out.Common sense surely would have been to re-negotiate contracts prior to launch,I can understand differculty with sky but bbc,Itv and CH4/5 thats bad

Does the search facility on Tivo not cover channel 5 shows. Was trying to highlight to Mrs Ghost how good the search was for any shows she likes. I asked her to name a show and she said Dallas (:( yeah I know) tried search and no listing, asked her to name another, she said Eddie Stobart (:(:() again tried search and nothing:D Does it not list anything that would be on Ch5? :confused:

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 
Should do. You mean on the Tivo itself?

Dallas has finished now, so that might explain why that wasn't in there :)

And I just did a quick search in DigiGuide for "Mrs Ghost" and it couldn't find anything in the last year on any channel called that :D

To answer the question though, no there is no reason it would not search for shows on Channel 5.

Yeah mate I but it should still come up with an entry though, no? :confused:I thought it did so you could set a wishlist or it would advise if u liked that you'd like this etc? So the search only works for what is on now or in on demand?
