Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo Is Tivo actually ready for VMs market?

If anyone else in my family took TiVo, they would have struggled and possibly given it back. Only by ploughing the forums and nagging VM staff over at VM support forum did I get workarounds or indication of upcoming fixes. Rest of family would never go to Internet for advice on STB.

Can't see my other relatives working it out either. Its easy to say "create a wishlist with optional keywords", "change series link priorities", "check recording hiccups and upcoming shows to resolve conflicts", but not everyone will find that easy to deal with or even get in the right headspace to tackle the problems.

I'm liking TiVo more and more and glad I didn't send it back, but it's not yet a noddy STB.
