Anyone?

If mine did that, I would send it back

Another great feature..
When FF to miss the ads and hit play
instead of being 10-20 secs into the show
(unless you are very good on the button)
it clicks back a bit from when you it hit the button.
Very good.

Yes the female sex do complicate things.

VM have now credited me back the £40 install fee for Tivo which was mistakenly applied to my next bill, so all sorted now, thanks VM.

Unfortunately, I got so good at hitting just the right spot with this feature turned off on the original Tivo that this is one feature I do, truly actually, hate Wish they'd make it optional.

At the moment you can't register for the 500GB model at all, so hang on for a couple of weeks.

Yeah that is a great feature.

One other little annoyance is not being able to close the channel display/mini guide before it times out.

On the SA V+ you can press OK and it closes, is there a was to do the same on the TiVo?

Above Lew mentions pressing the play button in a recording, will this work for live TV as well?

[Stephen]

Press the TV button and it should close the mini guide?

[spj20016]

I think you can by pressing clear. Bottom left button.

After being sure that I was going to grab a TiVO the minute I could, I've had a bit of an outbreak of scrooge-ism. Things like stag do's, a new guitar and motorbike kit have all taken priority over a TiVO. I am still pretty interested in the half-TB model though. To save me trawling through this monster thread, is there anything else missing from this model apart from the storage space? 500Gb would still be a decent upgrade for me from 160Gb, and for only 50 bar? I think I might be sold!

I wouldn't have thought so; no.
