TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 2 - Page 266

I have just noticed something on the newly changed page for TiVo? When you look at the App's page it has the BBC I-PLAYER, YOU TUBE, E.T.C but it is also showing FLICKR as well ( It is in the box with Picasa and Facebook?).

Not sure it has been mentioned before?

What i would like to see is a link for movies to IMDB so you can get better movie info.

Agreed.

I don't know if they intend to add to the actor's film/tv appearances data, but thy're not complete ATM.

Haven't been reading this post for a while but just wanted to add that I got my TiVo box installed yesterday and first impressions are positive. I was flicking through the TV guide and saw 'Game On' listed somewhere on the previous night's TV and clicked on it, then clicked a few more buttons and whilst there weren't any editions available to watch, it took me through to YouTube, automatically searched for it and I watched an episode from there.

Not bad I thought.

And for once I wasn't thinking about the mid-twenties Samantha Janus when I thought that.

She is called "Womack" now. Whoops

She'll always be Mandy Wilkins as far as I'm concerned

Very true

"Game on"

Has any one noticed any programmes ending early the BBC I-PLAYER APP as some over here have? Also if you have will you post so that they are able to look at the problem. I have already posted about one that stopped early?

Just got TiVo installed yesterday. So far no problems (Picture Quality is no worse then previous V+, reponsiveness is fine). At the moment just teaching it my likes/dislikes.

One question though. With my previous V+ I would switch it off overnight, more out of habit then anything. Just wondering if the TiVo needs to be on 24/7 or can also be turned off at night? I know the guide updates in the background, so would this be affected?

Apart from that (and the small picture flicker, when pressing Home), so far I think its great. The TiVo man took around 45 minutes, and the installation was straight-forward (even though he told me one install took over 3 hours). Hopefully, I'll start getting some recommendations through soon. All in all - I'm pleased

I turn mine off at night and it has had all the updates so it does not matter if on or in standby

If off = standby then yes, that's fine. Of course, "off at the mains" won't record anything

Thanks to both of you - I should have said off at the mains

But, yeah, looks like if I switch it off at the mains, it won't record any recommendations overnight (which is obvious to me now I've written it down

) I'll keep it on 24/7 then, and just switch to standby at night

Only 24 hours now until my TiVo installation

coming between 1 and 6 tomorrow and can't wait for it now! I think the positived definitetly outweigh the weaknessed but then again that's what software updates are for
