Totally agree,and believe me as you use it more it gets better

It's not just you. It comes and goes for no obvious reason.

Not really there have been loads on here who've found glitches and been told it's them as there's no fault , I just can't really be arsed trawling posts for them , to be honest I hope your enjoying your TIVO and the sooner the problems are ironed out for people the better.

I thought it had finally appeared now, but it's only on the guide and not the home menus.

AFAIK it's not supposed to be on the HOME screen anyway. Just on the TV Guide.

But, like I said, that was obviously said in jest. Right after someone says... "no-one ever said....." and someone says it!

Let's just let it drop now.

Right after you admit you were wrong

Carl, you sound just like my missus!

My mini Tv screen goes off on its own, even though its still set to "on"

I was watching a recording and pressed stop, as I'm used to doing that from having V+, and the programme "stopped" I thought this was great and thought there must of been an update to make the stop button work, but sadly realised the screen had just gone off *roll eyes

And once again had double recordings, this time The Hotel Inspector, recorded todays ep even though I had it in My Shows from mondays broadcast and is set to "New only"

I read here that some folks dont see this multiple recordings as a problem, but as I said in my other posts, the more thats on the Tivo, the slower the box gets!

My wishlist still hasnt picked up The Apprentice/Alan Sugar. Gonna have to set up a SL while I remember.

Am I the only one here disappointed with Tivo?

I've had Tivo almost 2 weeks, the installer said think of Tivo as something totally different to anything that was here before, so I have done just that, but I cant help feeling disappointed and confused with a few things.

at the moment I missing Interactive, used to read news and weather every day.

I seem to be pressing buttons all the time to do simple things, and before I know it Im 6 pages deep in the menus. I know theres shortcuts but its hard enough remembering which buttons do what in different menus already.

I've put a wishlist in for Alan Sugar/The Apprentice. Will it recored the new series by itself or do I have to set a SL? I can see The Apprentice on BBC One hd listings but theres nothing to say Tivo will record it.

Typing anything is so time consuming, but in other places in the menus I can use the number keys like you do on a mobile?

I thought when you searched all TV everything available would be listed, but music videos dont appear and theres no search facility in Music OD, as my post says above the ads are bad enough.

Thumbs up only works in certain menus/pages for me and how do I get info on programmes without going deeper into the guide/menus?

I just seem to be pressing buttons all the time

My drive has got to 47% today and Tivo seems to be getting slower the more thats on it. When I got tivo installed I said to the engineer how fast Tivo was, but he said it slows down the more thats recorded on it. It appears to be correct at the moment??

I dont understand how SL works on Tivo. Ice Road Truckers recorded tonight clashing with my other recordings even though I set IRT to record on the saturday morning repeat. How do I set a SL just for the saturday episode? The V+ had no problem with this.

I've turn off suggestions today as I was getting lots of shows I've seen already in the past, nothing new for me.

In View Network Diagnostics the Port config test says "Failed"

It takes longer to change channels and when I go into different menus I lose picture and audio for a second.

And most of the sd channels are shocking, for example, euronews was so blurred and soft when I flicked through the news channels for the wedding, wont even mention SkyLivingit.

Dont get me wrong, I realise its a brand new product with loads of potential and everyone here loves it, but at the moment for me its abit of a let down.

Or am I doing something wrong? or maybe I just looked forward to Tivo too much?

I still have my V+ and Im thinking of swapping it back as the main box, as I guess its too late to send Tivo back?

Oh, okay. Is that because TiVo supplies the guide data or something?
