@jobbie8- I'm also finding SL and quite a few other features hard to get the hang of, and also can't quite understand why TiVo marks multiple identical episodes of shows to record. But I've only had TiVo for two days, and I'm hoping to find my way around eventually. My main gripe at the moment is Parental Controls. It's a real pain to have to enter a PIN to watch a recording. Might not sound like much but it really gets up my nose. As for the PQ, I also found it quite awful on some channels. Then I saw a post (can't remember who the poster was- sorry!) that said they had changed the Video Output to 720p. This made a considerable difference to the Picture Quality IMO. Just make sure you select the "Continue" button (to the top right of the screen) when you select the 720p option, and not just press "ok", or TiVo won't save the option.
