Re: TiVo

I am a person who likes to press a button and it works, not mess around with settings all the time. I have not changed any defaults on my SA V+, yet it is very rare indeed for recordings not to cover the whole programme, even when back to back.

Nearly everything I read about this Tivo puts me off. If it had a dynamic programme guide (it is utterly unbelievable to me that it does not) then all this stuff about padding would not matter.

Did I read that you cannot press INFO and instantly find out about a programme as on V+ (though admittedly you often have to do it twice to get the information)? I find this unbelievable too.

Why not start with all the V+ does then add the Tivo business of thumbs up and down for those who find that sort of thing appealing.

I hope VM continue to develop the V+ with a larger hard drive as I am beginning to believe that, for the ordinary customer, they are on a loser with this Tivo which seems old fashioned in so many respects.
