Breaking Buffer
I've always loved the continuous buffering of channels that the Tivo does. It is a feature that I regularly use. Of a morning before I go to work, a scan of the previous hour of "Breakfast" and/or a scan of the start of the morning's cricket is really useful.
Recently I have been finding that whilst watching a broadcast in chase-play, particularly if the buffer is holding most of the previous hour of transmission, that the picture will briefly pixellate and for the programme to skip a chunk of the buffered recording. This might be a couple of minutes or more (ten minutes ish). In these circumstances it is then impossible to go back to any of the earlier transmission, the buffer has effectively become shortened to the new length (though it will then grow to the full hour again). Whereas this never happened in my early days of Tivo use, it now occurs fairly often.
A re-boot of the machine has led to no improvement and in other respects the Tivo operates as I would expect.
Anyone else who uses the buffering capability also finding this?
