Just a few questions - is the BBC Red Button on the box yet and other red button e.g ITV and Channel 5?

Also, has anyone got any videos of them using the box on YouTube for example?

BBC/Sky/ITV red button is not currently available on TiVo. There are a few vids on YouTube if you search.

I seem to have 3 tuners recording regularly, and the potential problem would still occur if all three tuners are recording.

I'm not knocking dynamic EPGs I'm just looking to see if there are any potential negatives as well as the positives.

Thanks for that. Also, can BBC shows still be accessed through Catch Up TV > All Days
???

no, you either press RED on BBC channels or go to the BBC iPlayer App. It's like the internet version. It has it's own search also.

BBC content will go back to the VoD menus at a later date.

Not at the moment? They are working to get all this done though. It is all done through the BBC I-PLAYER app.

Damn you DF you beat me to it. I would never win fastest finger first

Ah that's fine, was just wondering. Is the search function fast?

We've not been told yet, Denphone. Sky Sports Red button I believe will be before the new footie season.

l thought you had great influence but truly if we can have the full red button before the start of the football season that will be a great bonus.

I think Tivo has a serious addiction problem; it still seems to keep recording even then, suggestions I assume.

If it carries on, I may need to stage an intervention

But seriously the three tuners keep getting used because all the new series are shown at prime time between 9-11 on all the channels.
