Another way, possibly faster... while in full-screen TV mode, press info, scroll down to the ® icon, press right, choose the stream with up/down (if needed), press right, then hold down the |<- button for a few seconds to jump to the start of the recording. Then enjoy timeshifted viewing; if you've left enough time before watching you can fast-forward through the breaks and catch up with the program at the end.

Wow, that looks a lot more complicated when written down. It's not though, honest!

Really? If I'd booked a £15 PPV on my TiVo there's no way I wouldn't record it and keep it for months.

1. from the start and can be found in my shows providing you are less than 30 minutes in as this is the maximum size of the buffer which will be stitched on the front; or

2. Everything after the last channel change for that tuner.
Good tip, but the buffer is a max of 60 minutes rather than 30.

I asked that over on VM Community... they come from Tribune etc. Using the Roger Ebert style four-star with halves method, but those are NOT his rankings.

The lack of multi screen was a shambles from the start but a software update that renders the service virtually unusable. :shakesheadindisbeliefsmilie:
I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one who has good results from iPlayer. It was shaky a week ago but since then HD and SD streams have been flawless.

I know that was an irate answer but the info is pretty useful, nice short definition of the red button features coming as apps. Hopefully less buggy/features missing than the ones already on there.

It might be a case of activating so not an update agreed but it is not there now in what people expected, especially new Tivo users who then realise what is missing.
As someone who never bothered with red button features, could you explain what's missing?

It's a YMMV issue... mine is working fine.

I think Express Series Link is a great idea, all we need is ability to change defaults via TiVo UI. I almost always want "new & reruns, all episodes, keep until delete, no padding" so being able to choose that would make the TiVo much less fiddly. It's a shame TiVo isn't more like XBMC, where if something can't be altered by GUI you can edit the skin XML files and add the option(s) you need.

Sorry for the long multi-quote post, just a lot of points I wanted to make...
