TV Drive review update!
Came across an odd....'feature' last night after having the TV Drive for just under 2 weeks.
I was playing back a recording of
NCIS and a reminder (which I had previously set) popped up for
Battlestar Galactica (frakking awesome show BTW) on Sky Two. The TV Drive switched itself over to Sky Two - but the display on the front of the box continued to count upwards, as if I was still playing back the
NCIS recording. I couldn't get the box outta its 'playback coma' and I had to reset it.
Speaking of
NCIS - why is the series link (for Season 3 on Five) saying "One of Three"? There's 22 episodes in Season 3, shouldn't TV Drive be reporting this series link as "Ongoing" or even "One of 22"?? Meh, I'm nitpicking really, Series links aren't actually accurate on Sky+ either.
The 'dropped frames after using 2 tuners' bug seems to have gone!
, so I'm chuffed. No failed recordings so far; No resurrected series links from the dead (as some users have suffered); Deleted recordings stay deleted; The 'Copy to DVD' feature works for me ....the only thing which needs sorting out really is - you guessed it - the constant lockups, the Return of the VOD
, and charging me the correct amount on the bill next month (please!).
Of course, knowing my luck the TV Drive will probably blow up later and I'll be moaning about it on here
but for right now, I'm very happy...and losing sleep thanks to watching VOD off the good old Pace box in the bedroom. Thank you, NTL -
thank you for denying me sleep!!!
