Tivo has annoyed me to the extent that I re-enroled with ole Rupe. Problems are numerous but include:
  • Speed (lack of)
  • Poorly organized interface, I often can't find something which (logically) should be in Catch Up but a search finds it
  • Unable to set recordings when I want them to record - not when Tivo thinks its appropriate
  • Recording conflicts - I don't feel I should have to prioitize series links etc, the box should be smart enough
  • Lack of 5.1 - both transmitted and On Demand. Last week I recorded Criminal Minds S10E07 on the Tivo, it was in stereo - tried OD, it was in stereo. The same program on Sky is transmitted in 5.1 and available OD in 5.1. Just one example.
You think uk channels are bad for DOGs you should see the USA ones they get DOGS and huge banners with adverts on or programme info, ontop of that some next to the dog get huge letters reading "24 days of Christmas" the on demand isn't too bad it's just the dogs.
