Not that I know of

I'm so used to what I do on the V+ box where I can archive any mix of programs I want and get a display of how much time I have added to the list as I do so. It seems like a backward step in this respect on the TiVo?

TiVo is not V+ (and having had V+ since launch will be glad to see the back of it soon).

The TiVo way of archiving programmes is to transfer them over the network port in the background, but VM haven't enabled that feature
(and probably never will the TiVo->PC transfer -copyright law is stronger in the UK).
But that's how its done on the US TiVo premiere, TiVo to TiVo transfers and TiVo<->PC.
-the VM TiVo is basically a TiVo premiere.

Does this mean the update has started to roll out

Quote:

The software update has begun and is being done region by region.

Unfortunately we do not have a schedule to advise what area will be done when.

You may have to wait for the message that others said that they had got before they were updated?

There you will see that VM have now confirmed that problem of current missing EPG data is a fault.

A post by a Mod earlier today said:

Hi there

This has been raised to be looked into as a fault Ref 1778123. Hopefully have this sorted soon.

thanks
Claire

I wasn't aware, but I've just had a look at both the thread and the fault ticket. There are two different things getting muddled in the thread. The first is the general 'issue' of BBC etc only giving updates weekly, which is expected behaviour.

The fault ticket was raised for a customer who didn't have a working return path, which would result in eventually running out of EPG data. As far as I can tell, it was a single-customer fault and is now resolved.

With all due respect, it is not resolved. I've got no BBC or 5 listings from this Sunday onwards (not next Sunday, this one coming, the next day called Sunday, not the one after it), while I do have them for ITV and Channel 4. I am aware of the normal behavior, but I should have BBC listings for this coming Sunday by now.

I can't tell from the VM community thread who Claire_D raised that ticket for. Do you believe it was you? If so, you probably just need to make a service connection then wait a while to get your guide up to date. (Mine currently has BBC1 up to 6am on 05/11)

If it wasn't you, I'll ask the same as I asked denphone. What does it say for "Last attempt", "Last status" and "Programme info to"?

This is exactly what l have but l am sure it will hopefully be resolved soon.

Can someone tell me what this actually means

@buddieboy2011 We're currently testing the update and this should allow BBC red button and Sky sports red button functionality. KD

BenMcr · 25-10-2011, 11:03

At a guess? It means they are testing the update that allows the BBC Red Button and Sky Sports functionality

It has always been the case that they will come to TiVo eventually.

But when hasn't yet been confirmed. Once there is a confirmed date for the BBC and/or Sky Red Button services you will get a Customer News item and/or a Press Release

Continually asking about it won't change what Virgin will tell you at this stage

denphone · 25-10-2011, 11:41

Still having problems with Tivo as it now says network connectivity down now on several occasions this morning and that combined with a lack of updated terrestrial channels EPG programme information is irritating me this morning.

HD Boy · 25-10-2011, 12:50

Does anythink there will be more smaller Tivo Updates this year after the latest update ?

As has been repeatedly stated, over and over and over and over again, yes!!!!!

Which part of "this release will introduce some new functionality and some bug fixes, but will also provide the base for other functionality in later releases" don't you understand?

For instance, when you asked the same question on the 23rd October @18:21 in this thread (post #5550)

I thought Tivo software update version 15.2 was the main update ? Could there be a tivo software update version 15.3 this year ? or do they mean the pilot update is not the main update and the main update will be in it's fully rolled out

and I replied at 18:50

And you replied

As I've said in a separate post, the introduction of new features to TiVo planned for the second half of this year will not come all in a single update.

I just hope to set expectations because it seems that a rumour has been heavily perpetuated on this board that there is one all encompassing update to come. In actuality, there will be a large update, but other feature updates will follow very soon after this update (as their introduction had the update itself as a dependency).

I replied "yes", and you said "I thought so"....

So why are you asking again?
