TiVo speed - not good enough?
 

I am a bit disappointed with the speed of using TiVo currently. I accept I am essentially a beta tester, but has anyone got a clue to if the hardware is capable of running much faster? I get the impression that it is, but shoddy firmware is holding back its potential.

Thoughts?

My tivo is running perfectly fast but l don,t know how other customers views are on this.

I'm hoping that the next update will bring some speed, the doughnut is getting pretty boring at the moment, I'm running at 75% capacity used

News Flash:
Doughnut animation causes a rise in doughnut sales!

Where are you seeing the issues?
Are they in specific areas of the software? or is global?

I have to admit my doughnut intake has been higher while waiting for TIVO to populate the My Shows screen :D

Den,what assumptions are you making to state your TiVo is running perfectly fast?,you can not be using a Sky HD box as a comparison as you stated you have never used one,this would be the nearest bench mark to base a speed test on as a V+ box does not have the same capabilities as a TiVo box,your thoughts please?

In 2011, I would expect that pressing the Home or My Shows button, from any screen, would be as fast as the Start Menu appearing when you click the Start Button on a Windows PC - ie instant. This isn't the case for ANY PVR, it isn't just limited to TiVo.

But it is with Sky HD,there appears to be no lag through the menus and changing channels is instant.

Its more like opening a folder that is filled with up to 1TB of files that have metadata grabbed from the internet every time you view them.

Perfectly put Jameseh.

Re: TiVo speed - not good enough?
 

My Sky+HD planner populates pretty much instantly.

Exact cause of slower speeds in my view, network queries/updates of data causing delay, clear area for optimisation so lets see what next software update does.

Re: TiVo speed - not good enough?
 

It makes no difference if the folder is empty or full - there is still slight lag.

what do you mean by "slight", please?
