Is this slow?
 

I had to undelete a lot of programs and it took quite a while. Took a video of some of the undeletes. Is this menu responsiveness and performance what other people are getting? Or is this indicative of a different problem?

Mines not that slow in the undelete section but that section is the slowest part of the UI for me.

I've just posted on the 'My Experience with TiVo' thread about general slowness with my box. Check out the growing list of people this affects here:

As I say in my original post, what's the point of having 1TB if the box becomes very slow when it's around 25% full?

Re: Is this slow?
 

Have you any proof of that.

Re: Is this slow?
 

Mines 25% full and as fast as the (3rd - slow directly after install) day I got it.

Re: Is this slow?
 

My box is at 41% and its not slow at all.

Re: Is this slow?
 

Proof? No. Reading loads of posts on this forum and others about TiVo's slowing down? Yes.

There is no doubt that many are now seeing the red circle more frequently and for longer than when their boxes first went it. My worry is that this problem could get worse as the box fills up, leaving us with enough spare space to have gone for the upcoming 500GB TiVo instead.

Re: Is this slow?
 

I suffer from random slowdowns and am at 44% at the moment. VM are being pretty positive with updates though and are identifying customer complaints and addressing them. The more people they get onto Tivo, the more feedback they will get. I am pretty confident bugs and features will be removed/added as the months progress.

Compared to V+ Tivo is miles better, IMO.

Re: Is this slow?
 

I'm not sure used space has anything to do with it. Im at 16% and it's as slow as the day installed, and the video is representative of all my menus.

On the space issue, how do you find the total space used, as my 16% doesn't include the deleted programs, and I've got a lot?

Re: Is this slow?
 

Yes l agree with you that the tivo is far superior to Virgins other older boxes.

Re: Is this slow?
 

Can you repost the link, it doesn't work.

Re: Is this slow?
 

I don't think you can. Have you tried a manual "delete for ever" on all your deleted stuff to see if it gets faster. Not suggesting it as something to do from now on but just as a diagnostic tool.

Re: Is this slow?
 

I havent got one but that looks painfully slow :(

Re: Is this slow?
 

Sorry try this one:

Re: Is this slow?
 

My tivo is wonderfully responsive but its obvious some customers are unhappy about the speed of their tivo but l certainly don,t believe their lack of speed is down to their recordings or deleted recordings filling up the hard drive.

Re: Is this slow?
 

In that thread a staff member says that it isn't a known issue for the box to slow down as the drive fills up and to try a reboot.

Re: Is this slow?
 

Im not doubting you Den , I have only used TIVO once in a VM shop and the menus didnt seem as slow as on that video.

Re: Is this slow?
 

No l am no expert like certain forum members who might have a better idea about some customers tivo boxes and what the problem might be.:angel:

Re: Is this slow?
 

Ok this is interesting. So the video shows unreasonably slow performance. Can someone with fast menus please post some examples, preferably the undelete actions.

It could be I have a faulty box after all.

Re: Is this slow?
 

Yes it could, but for me the problem is slightly different, my menus are not sluggish it's the red circle that keeps appearing for longer and more often than it did after the first week.
How often do you see the red circle? between each sluggish menu or only when performing a function like deleting or setting a series link?

Re: Is this slow?
 

I get red circle randomly it seems, but perhaps it's related to operations. I would say I get it infrequently, but several times an evening.

I have 13 pages of deleted shows. Any suggestion on how to delete this much stuff quickly?

Re: Is this slow?
 

No Sorry I think that you have to do them 1 by 1. Unless anyone can shed any more light in how to do this?

Re: Is this slow?
 

There is no "Empty this folder" so one by one. It slightly faster to use the 'Clear' button from the list.

Re: Is this slow?
 

Face palm. If I keep TiVo, I hope this makes it into the fix list! Ok, here I go...

Re: Is this slow?
 

We will hear from you in a few hours then :D:D:D:D

Re: Is this slow?
 

Make sure you use the clear button!
Let me point out that I don't think we will ever actually have to do this but it's a good way of ruling out a full drive as being the problem.

Re: Is this slow?
 

There should be no need to empty the deleted items folder. TiVo automatically does this when it needs to.

Also that is why there is no delete all option for the folder.

Re: Is this slow?
 

So I shouldn't bother deleting the 13 pages of deleted to see if my slow issues are attributed to actual disk space usage?

On the flip side, what if you wanted to delete all the shows, because you didn't want others in the house to see what you've been watching? Specially that stuff on 484 everyone seems keen to get seizures over!

Re: Is this slow?
 

Well I tried deleting all undeleted anyway. Then deleted some shows and tested undeleting them again. Looks slightly faster in some instances I think.

Would really appreciate feedback or similar vids from others to show what the performance is like for others.

Re: Is this slow?
 

The link isnt working....it is now and yes tivo is very slow.

Re: Is this slow?
 

Actually, watching the two videos shows there's not a lot of difference. It's still slow.

Please could people with fast menus post videos so we can see what good performance if like?
