About time TiVO had an update!
 
It is slow, clunky and a nightmare to navigate the on demand. We also need the qwerty keypad as an option. I would happily buy an official one, rather than the imported american version with different buttons.

Seriously though, it really needs a speed update and some animations to smooth things up. Also the apps are totally useless. I was looking at the latest Sony TV the other day and its interface is light years ahead...

I want the HD menu screens that the US Tivo got a while back to replace the remaining SD screens on the VMN Tivo.

It can be a little slow at times, so wouldn't mind a speed increase. But I wouldn't want to move to a slightly faster alternative STB that didn't have the functionality of Tivo.

I have no problems with the menu structure; it's part of the price you pay for extra functionality.

I never use the apps (nothing relevant to me) and very rarely use On Demand or Catch Up.

Now that LG have brought VM, I wonder if they will hold off paying for any more TiVo updates, or wait until the TiVo contract expires and then bring in Horizon.

The same thought had crossed my mind.

There are plenty of TiVo software updates in the works. Don't worry VM are sticking with TiVo.

A lot of the changes to the US TiVo recently has been in part due to the changes that VM got added. Example some of the new HD screens.

Yeah, really could do with a rocket up the backside. That's what really annoys me about the Tivo.


Also like to not have to go through several button presses to cancel a planned recording from the mini-epg when the silly thing accidentally sets something to record whilst flicking through.

Only thing that annoys me on TiVo is that bloody red ring when it hangs as you can't do anything. Other than that my Samsung TiVo box has been quite reliable.

I have CISCO Virgin TIVO I get that same red ring from time and it hangs and I cannot do any thing.

When you say recently, you actually mean October last year - ten months ago. That is when the US TiVo got the HD menus we are missing and the improved clash management.

I want one thing only, the "Change channel at start" option.

I really miss that and would go back to my old V+ box in an heartbeat if they still did them..

Do you mean on reminders? If so, it does, doesn't it?
