I know, depressing isn't it. And you can even click on it and it will take you to the ad on youtube!
I really hope adverts like this don't become the norm because they are very irritating and pointless IMO.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I'm still waiting for the suggestions in the bar to become more relevant. In the US version they have them suggested because "It is in the top 100 season passes" and "It won a Emmy this year". We just have "We love it, we hope you do too" and "Because it is similar to other shows you enjoy" - the exact same shows are appearing though. Scrubs - I already have a series link. Friends - I also already have a series link.
When will we get something like "Because it won the award for Best Drama Series at the National Television Awards 2011"?

I noticed it, but that's about all. If and when you're forced to watch an ad, or whatever, is the time I will start complaining.
An ad in the Discovery Bar is nothing, really

Perhaps not, but it would be nice if the space was taken up showing me something useful, like a suggested tv programme.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Most of the rest of it is. Plus there's actual suggestions elsewhere too  My only problem is the shows suggested "... because we love and and hope you do too", which I invariably don't

Just found that. I hadn't got picasa on my laptop so I downloaded it, created an account and uploaded a folder of photos. The photos load fast and look good on my plasma. This will be a useful app.
Only thing they could improve is that as far as I can see you can only view the photos as a slide show.

You can make the slide show go faster or slower by going into the setting.
Also you make your favorites aswell.

Yes thanks for that. It would be nice if you could scroll through pictures one at time. It's still very useful though and I would say there is a good chance the app will be improved in time. Apart from that one thing it works very well.

I would also like to add it will be brilliant for when you have been on holiday and you are able to show them on the TV, Not to be crowded around the computer or digital camera )

I was messing around in the settings recently and found that you can customise the discovery bar suggestions. That definitely wasn't available in April when I first got the box.
Since I changed some of the settings it's been a little better.
