TiVo doesn't sound like an upgrade i will be making any time soon.

There are more people saying the tivo pq is just as good or even better. Personally i will reserve judgement until I can try it for myself. I can always return it if I'm not happy.

Hope this makes sense.

My TiVo has been installed for 24 hours now but it will only rewind the epg to yesterday and even then if I select a programme with a "c" it just takes me the normal VOD and I have to start searching for the item all over again.

Any advice most welcome please!

I am very fussy when it comes to pq! I was also very sceptical about the TiVo SD pq but I have to say that on my Sharp 36" LED I am more than happy!

I do not know what to suggest as SPIDERPLANT and CLINTEASTMAN have both said the same as you? Have you tried to restart the box? I will post some pics of what I get, To show.

Here i have added pictures to show what i get from the backwards EPG

Thanks for that but I don't get anything like that. I am just about to reboot the box and see what happens!

As SPIDERPLANT pointed out it may be regional as well?

Glad to see it does work for someone. Mine doesn't work yet. Just wondering if this is linked to not being able to search through the on demand stuff? Devilincarnate, does the on demand stuff show up when you search? At the monet, if I search for, say Countdown, it will only show a list of future episodes, not the ones avaialble in demand. Also, if you search for a band or artist that are avaialable in Music on Demand, does that show up in a search? If it does, then it would seem that the catchup / search problems are linked

Exactly.


But it does seem like they are doing; hence the problems.


Size (approx.):
W - 14.5" / 37cm
D - 9.5" / 24 cm
H - 2.75" / 7 cm


Yes. There are issues with this service at the moment. In other words, it's not working as it should

Thanks a lot for that Carl.

I'm the same as you and tried to reboot box but made no difference.

As i have pointed out that you could try and re-start the box? Also you could try connecting to the network as well.

In regards to your question I can search and get the programmes and also the music on demand as well.

I've rebooted box and connected to network but it made no difference.

A manual REBOOT and not a random one

You might be right. Hopefully it'll be sorted soon.
