Thats why i posted the info on how to use the ignore function. It means you don't have to see posts from those you think are biased or are spamming a thread.

In my opinion the software since 15.2 has been generally pretty stable however I haven't been to my parents since they got 15.3.

Sorry for the rant, not had a good night's sleep. Neighbours out in the street arguing at 2 in the morning drunk out of their heads.

Sounds similar to where i used to live about 8 years ago absolute nightmare mate.

Everybody is entitled to a rant every now and again.

I've not spoken to them for a week or so , I'm not sure they have 15.3 or not. I believe they come off Preston headend.

I'm not so against people holding a different to mine that I would ever want to ignore them. For a start it would make discussing such differences of opinion (as one generally does on discussion forums such as this) rather difficult

Where is your evidence for these so called 'problems'? I remember a post by Spiderplant where he mentioned one user who had had problems because he was recording daily shows and not using his common sense. Are there others that I've forgoten or missed?

I have already suggested that VM/Tivo could leave the initial default setting at KUSN and put a qualifying note if choosing the KUID setting. Personally, I don't think a qualifying note is necessary, but VM/Tivo appear to think that their user base is not intelligent enough to work these things out for themselves, so the note is to appease VM/Tivo. Judging by your post, you seem to have the same view as VM/Tivo on customer intelligence. What a surprise.

Precisely. There is more right with Tivo than wrong with it; and there's enough wrong with it

Of course, some people simply have different opinions; which is neither bias nor spamming

I really wish some people would read what I actually write and not what I don't; or what they think I mean.

For the record, I have never written anything about reminders other than my opinion (note not bias or spamming!) - and one shared by others - that, with three tuners available - reminders are somewhat redundant.

I have also never actually stated an opinion either way on the current implementation of reminders. So why some people seem to think I have (and now "ignore" me for it) I really don't know

For the record, you should indeed be able to set reminders by default (however pointless and against the spirit of Tivo that is) and you should be able to set existing SLs to remind as well. But I'm sure they'll fix both of these over-sights at some point.

It would be good if all recorded reminders were lumped in a folder called 'Recorded Reminders' or something similar, then cleaning up after a mamoth reminder fest could (if you've watched them all) be a one button press feature in My Shows. That would be a compromise I'd be more than happy with.

Cheers

This is a good idea, FWIW.

But I thought the idea of the reminder was that you sit down there-and-then to watch the show, then delete it!

In a perfect world, yes. I occasionally forget to delete standard series link shows that I've just watched but don't want to keep.
