Re: TiVo

My thoughts are that while the 1Tb hard drive is great as is the search facility there are a lot of negatives also.

On demand is a lot slower than V+ especially if you select A-Z when finding programmes.

If I have to reboot, it reboots itself twice before the picture comes back on.

The pin thing is awful. (I know it's due to be resolved in Sept)

Not being able to set global padding is very annoying as I have to set it every time I record something.

When setting a series link it records all sorts of repeats (even different programmes) and I have to spend time maually deleting them.

If it wasn't for the fact that I got it free for life and I don't have to pay the £10 per month any more for my second V+ box, I frankly wouldn't bother
