The clash message basically gives you 3 options (although the wording of the message perhaps isn't clear)

- Give priority to new reording
- Give Priority to existing recording
- forget about new recording all together.

With overlap protection set to clip the recording NOT given priority will be clipped.

With overlap protection set to cancel (i.e. re-schedule) the recording NOT given priority will be re-scheduled if possible

Also keep in mind that not all clashes are detected at the time a recording is set as not all channels give a full 2 weeks worth of programmes in their EPG so a new recording could be set no problem 2 weeks in advance but the clash could be detected a week later. However the TiVo box will automatically re-schedule the lower priority in this case.

You can of course look for alternate recordings manually when you get a clash message but it would in my eyes be a waste of time when a re-schedule can be requested via one button press on the clash warning popup. Each to their own I guess.

The Weather Channel teams up with Virgin Media for TV app

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Hopefully they do a placeholder channel for it otherwise it'll never get used.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

That's not really a good idea though - otherwise you'll end up with every app having a placeholder, which ends up cluttering up the EPG with pointless 'channels'

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Agree using placeholder channels for these niche (at best) apps is a ridiculous idea.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Hardly new news from the Guardian,that app changed to 'The Weather Channel' at least 6 weeks ago if not longer.

I've recently noticed TiVo is recording suggestions even though I have them turned off.

Anyone else experiencing this? It's not normally an issue except when it uses the last tuner!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Could they be wishlist recordings?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Definitely a suggestion as the thumb symbol is next to the title and the suggestion folder shows increase slowly, no where near as much as when it is turned on though

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

@Joedm45, How do you turne off suggestions on the TiVo Box?

I have found out how to disable "Suggestions" on YouTube

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Apologies if this has been mentioned previously, it annoys me that when recording program start/end times Tivo only allows a combined variation of 5 mins, This isn't enough, some progs start early whilst others seem to end a little late. Missed the end of a program I had recorded .

Any reason this 5 min total cannot be increased?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

If it is a series link, you can extend it more. I have mine set to 3 minutes before and 5 minutes after with no problems.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Because the people at VM/Tivo don't think their customers are intelligent enough to understand the implications of larger padding values. It's the same reason as to why KUID wasn't included in recording defaults.


If you're setting up a series link, you can go in after you've set it and it does it for each recording. For one off recordings, you can do the same.
