Tivo is good and ultimately offers more features than any other PVR out there, but it is just a PVR. I think over time (6 months or so) VM will really get Tivo sorted and running well.
But if you read some people's opinions on here you would think its the second coming. If you order a Tivo expect a newer, smarter fully featured PVR. An you will be happy, expecting too much so early in the "VIRGINMEDIA" Tivo will lead to disappointment.

The problem is you are basing your judgements on tivo without actually having it yourself and remember people have their own minds to make a rational decision on the tivo.

Worship is a very strong word perhaps independently minded is better.

Issues have been mentioned elsewhere but my list of functionality that is missing or not implemented properly so far
- SD picture quality not as good as the V+ box.
- Can't bring up info from the mini guide unless you press record - not intuitive.
- No way of setting global padding which could auto populate series links leaving you with the option of increasing it for say live events.
- No obvious way of recording just a single series with a series link, it would be nice to be able to specify just record season 2 of Fringe for example.
- Text entry is a pain for the search function.
- No red button!
- My recordings need to show more info such as date and time recorded and possibly whether they've been viewed or not.
- Some issues with EPG data, I've got Ben and Holly recorded for the boy but only get the episode title for one or two of them.
- I have series links for new episodes only of family guy, it's been recording a few random re-runs despite the programme info stating they were first aired years ago.
- Uses two tuners when recording two programmes with padding shown consecutively on the same channel, no need to record the padding twice.
- No reminders.
- It kicks you out when watching on demand if you leave it paused for too long.
Despite the stupid or poorly implemented functionality for both myself and my wife this is outweighed by the fact that we love the Box and even with the issues above still find it a big step up from V+. Things will get better in time, for now I'm happy but will be even happier if they can start addressing the issues it has (which I believe they are). |
No these are the real Ten Commandments Sir.
