 Really Mr Stokes l am surprised by you this morning in your assumption that us VM customers need a dynamic EPG as to be perfectly honest its low on many customers list of priorities of things they would like with regards to the TiVo box and although it would be nice at some future stage we can cope quite easily without it as the TiVo has many other considerable advantages in other areas over Sky's somewhat limited box.

 Are you mad? I was out last night so I assume you can figure out what happened to my recording of the match? The TiVo EPG is costing upto £5 a month per box. Yet it cannot automatically update.
 
Explain to a Sky customer how advanced your EPG is, then sit there totally fed up as your football recording finishes 30 minutes early while your mate on his inferior sky EPG relaxes and enjoys the entire game.
 
I tell ya what this is sooooooo annoying I think its the nail in the coffin, as some of the people I was out with had Sky and we had all set it to record. An NO we couldn't watch the game whilst we were out as we were at a new retail product launch.

That's great you were in watching the game you were recording so were able to change the recording manually. Most people record programs they won't be at home to watch or are watching something else.
 
One of my friends last night was actually able to set the game to record whilst we were out via his phone. Why can't TiVo do that?
