Cable Forum - View Single Post - TiVo Minor, but irritating recording problem

I'm getting used to the upgrade from V+HD to TIVO, but find minor problems - maybe there is some way round these?

We're sometimes not home in time for early evening news, so have set BBC 'News at Six' and 'Reporting Scotland' to record. V+ would also record Saturday and Sunday early evening news although they were not titled News at Six. TIVO doesn't record weekend editions.

Reporting Scotland is more of a nuisance. V+ would only record the early evening edition, but TIVO records every broadcast ie lunchtime, early evening and late evening. I have to go into 'Planned Recordings' regularly to clear these to leave recording space free in case there is a recording conflict.

I don't see any way of setting to record only one daily edition.

I've also found the remote control difficult. It seems to be a law to itself whether it moves, or whether it makes several moves at once. I've found that it works more easily if I stretch out my arm towards the TV - possibly it has a shorter range than the V+.

Everything else is good.
