Well, it was a week yesterday that I had TiVo installed. Whilst there are a few little bugs and annoyances that I would like to be fixed (which I'm sure will be in time), the one thing that really narks me about TiVo is Music on Demand.

Can hardly use this any more due to lack of track skipping on playlists and on top of that the fast forward option is just one speed and is chronically slow (appears to be x2 or x3 at very most).

Also, there is no search facility and browsing is an absolute nightmare. I can only seem to browse by artist name, which takes ages to scroll through, given that there is separate entry for each track by the same artist. Wouldn't be so bad if searching by artist just brought up a list with one entry for each artist, then clicking on the artist name brings up a list of all their tracks. Browsing by track title or genre doesn't appear to work at all!

I am very happy in general with TiVo, but Music on Demand is a feature I really enjoyed, but can't use it at all now as it is so frustrating and time consuming to use.
