No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Has the forthcoming update for TiVo fixed the issue of using 2 tuners for back-to-back recordings on the same channel with padding?

:shocked:

I......I have to lie down. Its too much. BT Sports. Netflix. Lovefilm. 50+ new channels. HD screens for planning recordings, series links. We may even get the Android app for TiVo before the end of the year.

I.....its.....but.....I have to rest. :erm::)

Wow, hopefully that is the case :)

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Wow what a year this has been for Virgin customers.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

More to come ;)

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Indeed there is.:omg::hyper::waving::spin::Yes:

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Can't believe it has taken them so long, you can record 3 programes of the same transponder on most satellite recievers meaning overlap on the same tuner is almost never an issue.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

No the android app is still coming soon;)

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

When did satellite receivers get three tuners?

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

edit only

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

:nono:

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

:(

I'm starting to forget what the app actually does, its been that long since VM first announced it. Scary. :erm:

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

You can buy satellite receivers with more than two tuners , if you'd have said Sky receivers youd have been correct.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Have you got a link to one?

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

There's this one that comes with two , it has an expandable slot were another two can be fitted , meaning you can record three whilst watching a fourth.

That's the one I found on Google when I searched, too.... ;)

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Correct Hugh , that's how I found it however I knew there were products out there as a friend has two units one with four satellite tuners and another with two satellite tuners and one terrestrial.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Its about time Tivo can finally do this. One thing i dont miss when i had Tivo.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

...and such good value at £670 for the 1TB, 4 tuner version. I wonder what the out-of-warranty maintenance charge is?

I'll stick to my 1TB, 3 tuner TiVo.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

You asked 'when did satellite receivers get three tuners ?' I merely pointed out that there were satellite receivers out there capable of recording on 3 tuners , I agree its not something I'd buy way too expensive plus there's no legal way of getting it to work in the UK with Sky's pay TV services I believe. I'd suspect its used by people with motorised dishes or other uses.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Correct on all points. Lovely box thou from that site, looks good

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Thanks for the info. I should be more precise.

So......

...the vast majority of Sky customers only have access to receivers with two tuners.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Some have 4!

Plus if they have multi room the can set different recordings on two boxes and stream between them, it isn't as all locked in as it is made to sound.

Ps each tuner in most new recievers can record 3 programs off the same transponder, so in theory if the sata III hard drive can keep up you could be recording 12 channels at a time!
You get what you pay for I suppose.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

But if they can't be used with Sky, aren't they pretty irrelevant to the UK Pay TV market? (which this forum is about)

Would they work with freesat?

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Back to subject of this thread, this is excellent news and one of those really annoying issues now resolved as can now schedule your pre and post recording buffers and not be concerned if you overlap on the same channel. I still have cases where this happens with multiple recordings at the same time across several channels, so forcing me to look for a +1 channel or repeat showing, so just more work when it should be simpler to set up recordings. Seems to be quite a few changes coming through according to the support thread link below, looking good!

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Have we all been updated yet?

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

No.

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Again thanks! :cool:

Re: No, it can't be, they haven't....have they?
 

Only those on the Netflix pilot have the update right now so can see the other changes I believe. Should not be too long though before general update for all.
