Does TiVo set reminders?
 

ok just upgraded to vip and got a tivio box thinking i was getting a better box this isnt the case on my old V+ box i could say highlight a program starting at 7pm and just press ok and at 7pm ud get a message on screen saying its about to start nice and easy, now i got this tivo how do i do the same thing as its a new more advance box surely this is easy ??????

re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

This feature currently is not available on the tivo boxes. I think its coming soon if i remember correctly.

re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

will my box just update when available or will u need a latest tivio box?
thanks for the reply least i now now its not just me not being able to work the control lol

re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Tivo does not have reminders as yet. Could a Mod please correct the title of the thread or merge it with an appropriate thread please?

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

No the box will receive an update, you wont need a new box. Glad to be of help :)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

As TiVo has three recordable tuners there isn't a need for reminders. However they are being worked on and will be added in the future.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

i know what ya saying that you just record the programs u want to view but then that means a few more minutes messing around to delete the program all of which id rather not

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

In your opinion, many, including myself want the reminder function asap.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Seconded.:tu:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

This feature is coming soon, it is already available to the trialists.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

That's great news Essjay. Thanks for that:)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Wonder if it works well or even as expected :angel:

TiVo themselves wondered why VM customers wanted the feature ;)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Your last line sums it up " virgin customers wanted the feature" that's all that matters.;)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Brilliant news.:)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

To be more accurate, the minority who expressed a preference wanted the feature :)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Thats a very strange minority then if more said yes rather then no.:)

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...reminders.html

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

More said yes than no, but it was still a minority because of the "don't cares".

Thought we'd done this to death?

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Or a majority as most people call more voting yes than no.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Well yes, but unless VM only have 53 customers then what I stated remains completely accurate.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

The sooner the better, It might make the Tivo a complete package then, But hey we are still waiting for an ipad app that if you get it from the us apps site works perfectly so i am not holding my breath for reminders this side of coming soon :rolleyes:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Oh come on carl you know these votes carry such great influence.:)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Off topic sorry - nearly EVERY poll what ever the outcome like it or not , the result is not supported by the majority. But we still get a government. :p:
Do care or don`t vote - don`t count Only wish it did Please next election can I have none of the above !!!:D as a choice - Do not think so :shocked:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

:LOL:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

I'm still amazed how after many many threads on this, and Virgin say that reminders are coming, it yet again degenerates into an argument

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Sorry Ben, I would say that a lot of the people( not Carl of cause) here do not

a) Trust Virgin to deliver any time soon.
The phase "coming soon" takes on a whole new meaning when used by them.

b) Believe what "they" say at all.

c) However think that Virgin say one thing & do another .

It is a perception that Virgin have brought upon themselves. Once rooted it takes a lot to remove.

Please understand I am not having a dig at anyone posting here.
I for one have given up on Virgin supplying what I want. So much so that I use "freeview" more and more and that is saying something about Virgins delivery of free to air services. Would I recommend Virgin to anyone today NO. A year ago yes:shocked:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

I guess it's just one of those divisive subjects. Personally I still don't see how a function that simply switches to the correct channel is better than a function that switches to the correct channel and starts recording. :confused:

Define "a lot" in this context and is that more or less than "those who do plus those who have more important things to worry about" (the latter of which is me!)

Confirmed as included in the next major update.

Of course, if they gave a date and missed it there wouldn't be any complaints at all would there? :rolleyes:

Only for certain people :)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Personally I don't understand why people want to watch a live event at a later date, after the result has been blasted all over social media and the news sites

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Which, of course, is of no relevance to anything as you can start watching a recording from the second it starts... erm... recording so we're not necessarily talking "at a later date" at all. :rolleyes:

I started watching the Jubilee Concert well after it started as I knew there would be one or two acts I didn't want to watch. Same with "The Voice" (or any other talent show.)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Not really as its more like good old fashioned banter as sometimes as some posters can be far too serious sometimes.:)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

I tend to watch rugby matches 30 minutes after kick off.That way I can fast forward when. Walking to take line outs, injury's & half time .I have no idea what the score is of cause:D So as live without the boring bits :cool:

Well said :D Mods please try to understand this :shocked:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

As essjay is in the know -

Is the info button going to be fixed properly also?
That is my 2nd biggest annoyance

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

That got fixed in the last update, didn't it? :confused:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Should the update come before the end of the year?

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Go to something you have set to record in the EPG and press the Info button then you will see what I mean.
Admittedly only happens on things you have set to record but I sometimes check on the details of that showing and basically I can't

---------- Post added at 14:36 ---------- Previous post was at 14:35 ----------

They said a major update will come in before the year end that's as specific as they have been

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Its coming soon :LOL:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

What deep impact :erm:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

No, not "soon" at all, but before the end of the year. :rolleyes:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Always the Nostradamus it seems.:)

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

In "Virgin speak" thats coming soon :p:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

As with any announcement about upgrades i never trust them till i see them. I still remember the NTL coming soon promise over dial up to stop me leaving that then took them 2 years to provide :rolleyes:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Whereas I never even think about it and they happen when they happen. And I don't constantly moan about it on Forums either :p:

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

because they could be working? At a wedding? Praying at the mosque? Deposing the body of the ex-wife? Someone else using Tivo at the time to catching up on Eastenders.

There's a million and 1 reasons. Not everyone spends all day on social media and news sites.

I rarely watch live sports but watch them 'as live' so I don't know the result. It's pretty easy to avoid results if you want to watch something at a later time/date.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

I had to do it every week with "The Voice" as I rarely watched it Live as I didn't have the time.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Is there anything planned to provide the functionality we currently get via the "Interactive" service on V+?

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Red button is now on TiVo, if that is what you a referring to?

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

I think he's referring to the "Interactive" button on the old Liberate boxes.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

Agreed, Tivo red button really needs substantial more development but expect that is for BBC to do and then VM to deploy. Really miss the regional news access for example. Weather and business news are also targets for me so a case of how far the BBC go to match the content of the BBC web site though the red button. The Tivo red button gives you more for a news item with the video feed for example, but only when the news is available in the first place and there seems a long way to go on that matter.

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

As far as I am concerned the Red button on TiVo might as well be put on with lip stick for all the services it ( does not ) provide. Still use Freeview if I want them, and that is SAD

Re: Does TiVo set reminders?
 

No, I mean all of the "text" based interactive information services on V+, i.e. press Home>4 and proceed from there.
