Sorry Guys... I uploaded the wrong version.

I have re-uploaded v0.05.
Also forgot to mention that I now have the Coloured Buttons working too.
(CTRL+1 for RED to CTRL+4 for BLUE)

Nice work Andy! I have had the blank screen on the guide whilst doing a couple of tests, sorry!

- Added reminders. Can now set up the application to change to a specified channel at a specified time and date (PC must running the application at time of reminder to change your TiVo).

Setting Reminders

You can now set the application to change the channel on your TiVo box at a specific time and date using the reminders
options.

Provided that the application is running on your PC at the time of the reminder, it will then change the channel
just like the V+ box did.

Andy

Brilliant, the reminders function is great, it returns the missing functionality from the old V+ boxes that I miss until VM can add it natively

The new YouTube interface looks like a step in the right direction. Or they could just base it on the Xbox version which is a lot more remote control friendly apart from the way texts input via the on screen keyboard.

My TiVo is now running and i would like to give my general thoughts on the box as i have one now.

Initially i thought the picture not to be as good as my V+ but it seems to have got a bit sharper,i think perhaps TiVo has as been suggested on another thread needs time to "bed in",certainly on outside broadcasts the TiVo picture appears dark until the subjects are in clear view certainly viewing the cricket and a tad wooly.

Like the you tube app works very well and you tube is something i use a lot.

The remote record is also a great feature i set a recording from a PC and it did the job,expess series links works well also no missed recordings so far! or ends cut off,i do as i thought i would miss the reminder feature on the box hope virgin will add this feature soon,also miss having the clock on the front but thats a minor point.

Overall i am quite impressed with the TiVo box and what it can do although the engineer who set it up gave me a demo of the thumbs up on "my family" a comedy that i find a very unfunny sitcom, and i forgot to delete it and found i got programmes recording that were similar until i deleted the thumbs up.LOL.

I hope sky sports red button arrives on TiVo soon,but i did keep my old samsung V+ in the bedroom so can watch red button content there,but would like it to launch on TiVo before the cricket season.

TiVo users watch less live TV than everyone else!

people want them

Not sure but i subscribe for the sport in part and the reason i sub to sky sports is to see it live! Not recorded and yes reminders would be very useful to me.

Those that say no no to reminders fine i have no problem with that,they simply would not have to use them.

maybe if/when VM integrate them there could be an option in the settings where the user says if they want reminders on or off

Excellent idea.

Surely you just don't set any reminders, no need to have an option?

I agree but i reckon it would suit alot more people to have an option
