Oh my goodness, what is he on?  |
If you think there's something wrong with what I posted then please feel free to tell me. You know, to discuss stuff, as that's what these forums are for.

Another personal dig at my opinion for no reason. Nice

Do any of your friends (Assuming you have any. See we can all do meaningless personal digs
) ever say "hey! here's a show you might like"?
And if they do, do you then say "thanks but I know better than you what I like to watch"? And if not, why not, if that's your attitude to any such 'Suggestions'?

it was niche when the original tivos were released...

And it hasn't changed. Just sits there quietly recommending programmes; which you are free to completely ignore if you want to.

but added to the sixteen menu deep feature list its boring....

Hyperbole aside, I know some people on various forums who really like that feature. Are they all wrong whilst you're right?

if I wanted to tinker with 1000's of features I'd build a linux HTPC such as MythTV.
|
Again with the hyperbole. Tivo doesn't have a dozen features; never mind "1000s". Also, I'm sure most VM customers wouldn't have a clue how to build a HTPC. But then why build one when you can rent one anyway?

Well I was just stating a fact..

No. You were parroting other people's opinions.
Not in any definition of the word I have ever read.

But it isnt HD!!!! Why would I buy a HD TV to watch SD!!!! I only watch SD when there is no HD equivalent...

Same here. But, to me, HD isn't as important as having a Tivo.

That maybe the case but you expect the little things to work, not constant 'doughnut' while searching my recordings or the annoying pause when it starts to record a program that you have decided to watch (and forgot to cancel the planner for).

The response time to channel hopping and other features is way too slow

Never experienced either of those.

and this should be VM's number one priority in rectifying, but clearly isnt...

Really? What's your proof?

I have looked at others as mentioned in my posts and they were just as bad.....I guess they are all faulty eh [insult removed]...?
|
Well I'm not the only one to mention in this very thread, that mine isn't particularly sluggish. Are
we all wrong?

true, but when you have to wade through 5 menus to enable that gimmick it becomes tiresome...

It would bes yes, if you
actually had to do that.
