The tivo remote is terrible
As you know got tv,phone,bb in but I Cant get used to this tivo remote, I hate to say this but the SKY remote was much easier to use, does anyone else agree or does it just take a bit of time to get used to?

Give it a few weeks, you'll soon be whizzing around the menus.

I know it is a bit extreme but I don't use the TiVo remote that often I prefer to use the Virgin Media app, it is so much quicker navigating round the TiVo menus

Re: The tivo remote is terrible
The TIVO remote does take some getting used to, but I can pretty much use it with my eyes closed now.

That probably says more about my TV viewing habits than ease of use, but hey, that's life.

You will get used to it, Dot. The one thing I don't like is its shape, because if you don't put it down on a flat surface, it wanders off by itself. The flaming thing has a mind of its own.

The OK/arrow buttons should be where the play/pause buttons are.

Don't worry Dot, with the amount of crime, arguments and other storylines in the run up to Christmas, you won't have any time to use it anyway!
