1. Do a search
2. Select the show you want
3. get this show
4. get a series link
5. series link scheduled notification (press ok)

At this point it's created the series link with defaults of no padding and record new and reruns.

You can at this point go in and edit the series link, but it does not actually prompt you about padding.

It does.........

1. select programme

2. "series link and other options"

3. "get series link"

3. at the bottom you have "start recording" and "end recording" options, on time, add mins etc..

Re: TiVo

Exactly the same here. To be honest the whole thing has been a fiasco, with #tivo team contradicting CEO office and vis versa.

Completely agree. We should never doubt the capacity of VM communications and marketing to take a good thing and make a nonsense of it.

God I hate to do this...............................but











I GOT THE CALL.......





Retentions offered it free for a year at no cost




I calmly asked which hand I should bite off



Friday 18th and I get it


Looks like my email moans may have helped as as I state above it came through retentions





I officially love Virgin again

Re: TiVo

It's not Retentions doing it, it will be the TiVo team. Retentions have no involvement in TiVo

Re: TiVo

Only thing I can think of is that some of team they are using for the TiVo call outs have been taken from Retentions, so the person calling was too used to saying where they are from and slippe up (when I used to be a frontline agent, I've thanked people for calling when answering calls at home!)
