HOw to control TV with Tivo remote?
 

hi, I have just had a 1tb Samsung Tivo installed, the remote works the volume on my Panasonic TX-P42U10B plasma TV however I cannot find any button that will make it change the input source.

On a Sky remote I'd use the Help button for this.
Any suggestions which button it might be on the Tivo remote?

(It's a pain having to need several remotes to control the TV.)

Cheers,
Zoom.

Try a long press on the text button. But it doesn't work with all TVs.

Cheers that worked.

Now I have your attention :) , if I accidentally press something to stop a on demand show, how do I play it from the same position I was at?

On Sky I just pressed play & there was an option for the last watched point. ON this tivo I seem to have to start again and FF to it?

Jeez, this Tivo is crap!in comparison to the Sky HD box.

Just because I had to pause to take the dog out the damn thing only waited 10 minutes then stopped and now I have to FF through it all to find the point I was at.

How ***** is this!

I'm instantly regretting switching :(

Sadly bookmarking is only available on pay-per-view stuff.

Sadly... this Tivo is absolute tripe in comparison to the Sky HD box :(

It takes far too many button presses to do simple things, like record and series link things.
On Sky it's only 2 buttons to press, I have lost count on the Tivo.

Still, I'm saving over £200 so will have to put up with it for a year.

This is not a solution but if you have your TiVo connected to your home network, you can use the playback features on the TV Anywhere iPad/Android app to scroll to any part of an on demand programme in an instant.

Cheers nn012 - I'll try that when I have is installed.


Edit: Well that didn't work.
My Nexus is rooted so not much use with this app.

My Tivo continues from where I left off. I just press play. You could also press OK and choose Resume. Isn't that an option?
