Re: Reminders

You are joking?

I thought Tivo was state of the art? I have a almost 8 year old Sky+ box that has the reminder functionality.

Im amazed at this also! Was one of the most well used functions on my v+ box. Hope they manage to find out how to add it soon.

You don't.

Because all three tuners record, you set a recording rather than a reminder.

On V+, reminders were inportant because only 2 out of the 3 tuners recorded. Because tivo records on all 3 tuners, reminders are redundant on Tivo.



VM are trying to add them for people who like to still live in the Dark Ages

Well, from one of those links:

"the concept of a supposed period of intellectual darkness"
If you substitute, 'technological' for 'intellectual', you're kinda there!

Re: Reminders

TiVo doesn't have reminders as they have not seen a need for them, however with some VM customers requesting them they are looking to see if they can be added at some point.
