I have just come from the world of TiVo and have some queries on the V+ operation. I'm probably looking for features which don't exist on V+ but lets give it a try...
1. What happens when it gets full?
2. If it auto-deletes recordings then is it a simple first-in first-out algorithm or can you control how deletion works?
3. Can you tell it to keep or prioritise some recordings?
4. I read that it has padding - does this work like soft padding on the TiVo?
5. Can padding be done on series and globally as well as individually?
6. How do you tell how far you are through playback for a programme that is still recording. I miss the TiVo bar
7. If you are recording, is there any way to switch (quickly) between watchever programmes are being recorded and live TV?
8. Can you programme the remote to control the TV (I didn't get a manual).
Thanks,
Mark B
