Hi everyone. Does anyone know why the "Celebrity" app within TiVo has been removed?

Could be to do with this...

I believe the celebrity app linked directly to the online portal.

Everything happens for a reason.

Netflix and Lovefilm would be nice to start off with.

Yeah your right. The only ones I use right now are Youtube and Spotify, although without the search in Spotify I tend to use my Raspberry Pi and AirPlay with my iPad.

As long as they don't have buffering issues like the BBC iPlayer app.

It's vastly improved To what it was like when I first got the tivo, it's mainly in the evenings now on the HD Version but the SD version is fine most of the time.

Thank you for clearing that up Spiderplant. Still a shame though.

I must admit I'm beginning to get annoyed by my TiVO, I keep having to reset up recordings,

For example in 2 weeks time I have series links for North America (DiscHD), Russell Howard (BBC Three) and Lemon La Vida Loca (ITV2HD), now this week their are 2 episodes of North America, one at 9 & 10. So instead of recording the later 1am showing of Lemon La Vida Loca, it just clips the recording instead.

Now I can use the "upcoming" thing to find the repeat and it lists both as S2 Ep4, so why doesn't the intelligence of the Tivo record that instead?

If you turn of Overlap Protection i.e. clipping, this will force the box to re-schedule the lowest priority recording. My youngest is watching Iggle Piggle at the moment so I can't check but I'l sure the setting is in the "Recording" menu in settings.

Why clipping is the default is beyond me as one of the most powerful features of the box is its ability to reschedule. BTW as a general rule with TiVo it's best to replace the word "cancel" in any setting or message with "attempt to re-schedule"

not near a TiVo but does it not tell you if recordings overlap.? I am sure that I use to get this message & simply looked for that show at another time- or is that to "hands on" :cool:
