Isn't the mini guide supposed to show channel logos? Mine shows nothing.

Because if you didn't have Tivo you wouldn't have the extra broadband connection. It's only used by the Tivo not the customer.

You probably need to reboot. There's a bug where it doesn't show the logos on newly-installed boxes.

How fast was the dedicated connection on the V+ box?

The customer uses TiVo, and TiVo uses the broadband connection

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I have a problem with subtitles, when the titles change position on screen it is leaving a black line where the titles were, so i have 2 permanent black lines running through the picture.
I cannot reboot at the moment because it is recording.

Anyone else getting this

I don't know but it had it's own connection, it must have done to get the on demand content.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I'm getting a bit bored with mine now.
It's giving me all I expected and performing well.
The niggles don't really bother me, I am happy with the HD and SD pictures, and it has recorded all the series links as requested.
I've got no new things to try now, just sit back and watch TV.

Not to the internet. It has a connection to Virgin's VoD servers, which TiVo also has

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Iv set a wishlist for a daily programme. Ideally id like to keep just the one copy. So everyday it records the new copy over the last copy. Iv set the wishlist to one only. But it just records the next episode and keeps that one until i delete it and then records the next. Anyway around this?

The blue light is the download light. It comes on when it is downloading data.
