Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo Suddenly takes twice as long to set anything

I have recently discovered, when I set up my recordings for the week on Tivo, that if I want to modify a recording; say, add a few more minutes, it takes twice as long to do it. At least three more clicks of the remote through the various menus. Then, afterwards, I get taken right back to the present date and time, rather than back to the place where I was. I can be setting up a recording right at the end of the week, only to be taken, after modifying it, back to the present date and time! Then of course, this necessitates having to scroll all the way foward to where I was originally!
This state of affairs also applies to lists of planned recordings; if I want to cancel or modify a planned recording, there is the same rigmarole of extra clicks of the remote and then I am taken back to the very beginning of the list, rather than to where I left it! I think Virgin will find that remotes are wearing out a lot faster in the future!
Plus...do I really need to be told, when switching on my Tivo box, that it is 'Waking Up'? Or...when I switch it off into to standby having finished watching something, that I will not be able to watch TV or recordings in this mode, but that it will still record anything planned? Really? Pretty obvious when you think about it!

Virgin, if it ain't broke - don't fix it! You have just made everything take twice as long as it used to and caused a lot of inconvenience!
