Not here in London they haven't.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

They have arrived on some TiVos on Andover, Ashford, Preston and Stoke.

What about Plymouth SP.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

Nope, not yet. It's a pilot of the new firmware in those areas.

And how long does that last for Ben before full rollout?.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

Well until l get it l can't really comment about it.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

Pilot is for 5 weeks

As far as I understand it, any reminder will also record the programme. So it's like an announced recording

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

Seems pointless to me ( & I want reminders) the red light does that -
! O look its come on what recording ? type of job. Still no doubt it will be hailed as a great step ( not sure if thats backwards or forwards) by some
- Hi guys :cool:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

This has been my point all along. Yet VM have had to waste time getting Tivo to implement this when they should have been doing something with a higher priority. (Basically anything but reminders.)

It is a huge step backwards.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

Well being someone that's got the new feature and using it this morning my initial reaction is that this a positive addition to the TiVo, I reckon most people will like it when they've used it a bit.
I can't see that it detracts in any way from the original software.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

So the record light coming on doesn't remind you that something was recording? :confused:

It doesn't, but it's the wasted development time that I object to.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

How is adding a feature a step backwards? :rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

I personally think that the money could could have been spent on far better things, but how is it a 'huge step backwards'?

People will get what they wanted: auto switching of the channel when their selected show starts.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2012) Vol. 2.
 

All it does is pop up a reminder that it is starting, TiVo will still record it. Which I think is a waste of time but I'm guessing due to the y TiVo works is the only way they could implement it.
