TiVo menu speed compared to Sky+HD.
 

Hey it was suggested on here recently maybe we could get some videos of SKY menus and Tivo menus to get an idea of the speeds to compare.

I've made a very basic video showing Skys menus, epg,Anytime(not plus) and the planner.

Anyone have a Tivo video to compare?

Video below is low quality filmed on my mobile it does go to 720p but gives you the info you need.

Why are people obsessed with the speed of the menus? Sky HD menus are so basic and don't have any where near the amount of info or functionality. Obviously there will be a difference in speed.

Yeah I would completely agree with you, Sky have done a great job of keeping the menus to a minimum. Function over form any day.

Thats ok but all he does is access the "planner" and set recordings. I was looking for a video of a TiVo user accessing the epg, planner,ondemand,viewing a recording, changing channels,

On my Sky video I watch ondemand, access the planner watch a recording, skip from a recording to ondemand and vice versa then from A RECORDNG to a EPG channel etc. I covered all bases.

I think that the easiest way to compare is to have both and do a side by side test:erm:

Perhaps other people are too busy having a life.......;)

Re: TiVo menu speed compared to Sky+HD.
 

Some people seem to have a rose tinted view about Sky's menu but for info and functionality and with the promise of far more to come the Tivo beats Sky's menu hands down.

Can I just add which ones look more aesthetically pleasing ( But it each to their own )

Re: TiVo menu speed compared to Sky+HD.
 

Virgin TiVo of course! :D ;)

Yes a very valid point , I've used both and for me I have likes and dislikes of both , hitting the My Shows could be a little quicker however most other things are fast enough for the most demanding of users. I like the look of the discovery bar and the channel logos look good , text input could be easier however that is defo going to change ;)

For me Sky's EPG is clean looking , intuitive and pretty responsive with all the key features , this is really a subject what is down to preference. My friend who's TIVO I've used swears by his suggestions now and says his hours spent thumbing up and down has paid dividends :D The TIVO companion iPad app looks superb and will be a great feature when launched soon.
