Hello all - (long time lurker de-lurking!
)
I've had my Tivo for a couple of weeks now and compared to theV+, its a great box (IMHO of course, as I never used reminders and rarely copied stuff to DVD, so the lack of those featured don't bother me).
I can confirm though that the reverse EPG works fine here - I just did the 'Monroe test' and it went straight to the correct programme. I do remember it didn't work at first though, so its quite possible its not a real problem, and the EPG data takes a while to cross-reference with the VoD data. I have noticed that the default behaviour if it can't cross-reference the data is to dump you in the main VoD menu (you can check this after a week as the VoD data goes off the system, but the main EPG data stays and can still be scrolled through as far as installation date).
I've tried out the online recording facility and it seems to work (although the guide data on the website doesn't seem to be the same as on the Tivo, so ao couple of times I've ended up with the wrong thing as it recorded the requested timeslot, rather than the specified programme, but thats just a data quality thing rather than a bug).
