I like the way they've implemented it, you get a remind and record option combined so if you miss the reminder it still records the programme for you, nice!

Not in Creepy Crawley yet :(

Still on 15.2.1a

Re: Reminders are here!
 

Nor in north London yet either although they could be rolling it out over several days, that seems to be the way they do it nowadays :)

Here are some screenshots of the new reminder function

Re: Reminders are here!
 

It is, apparently, a "trial" of the new update.

Anyway, from those shots it looks like they have implemented it wrongly. No-one wanted it to record, they just wanted reminding it was on :D

Re: Reminders are here!
 

Yep I was going to say the same thing as all the moaning was they just wanted reminding and not recording as they they have to be reminded to go and delete the recording.

Classic :rofl:

Not if it's set to keep until space is needed, as in the picture above.

For a feature that belongs back in the 1980's, I think they've done it right. No one should be watching TV as it's broadcast anymore.

I thought i was going crazy when I saw that screen shot too, maybe VM can set reminders for as to switch over to new channels when they come online as well:D

Re: Reminders are here!
 

I so agree Carl ( Scarey:dozey:)What are they thinking of .
Let me guess its easy to put up a message linked to record. Instead of a message that is not. The tec minded please comment :D

Come on Virgin try to get something right the first time :shocked:

When the reminder is due this pops up on screen

If you don't respond the Tivo changes channel to the set reminder.

Re: Reminders are here!
 

As this is only a trial at this stage hopefully they'll make the relevant changes prior to rolling the update out across their network. Alternatively if they get positive feedback from people using the new function, I've got a feeling it's here to stay. Better to have it this way than not at all?

Actually that looks like a really good feature. For me it's a massive improvement on the old reminders.

Re: Reminders are here!
 

Thats better the the V+ reminder system! :)

Re: Reminders are here!
 

Could do with out the record default or not . If I choose to set a reminder & not set record,why would I want it recorded :confused:
