TiVo : Youtube on TiVo

That if they move SD to MPEG4 and seeing as that could take years I expect HD to move first.

I had the same problem, and someone on the forum suggested 'Clear', which works.

I am pretty sure I tried that, will try next time.

Enter your search string into the standard TiVo Search, then select "YouTube results for".

Good point! I should add that to the "what to expect" thread at some point because it makes using the new YouTube app a bit faster at first, skipping that really annoying VM promo ad.

Does anyone find the updated YouTube app slow to watch?

Videos start ok then stop and start cos they are not getting the information quick enough. Is this a fault of the box or outside cabling issues, does anyone know? I can't believe this is how its supposed to be.

Am I missing something here? I tried YouTube last night after hearing about the new version, and after searching for videos none actually played.

The search bar showed the videos, but selecting them never played - just left a black screen. Sometimes there was a scrolly wheel thing on screen.

With regards to this Youtube issue. I will be getting a Blu Ray player which has internet connectivity for things like Youtube so i will be interested to see if it works.

We are aware of this issue with YouTube, TiVo US and Google are investigating the problem.

I tend to find that if a video doesn't play you have to exit that app and then go back in. I also find it works better if you let the auto Virgin video start before trying to do a search.

Google are a pain in the a*s* , my YouTube on my 3DTV isn't the greatest interface and can be a little hit and miss from time to time.

Yes l have found that with Google on a lot of their apps whether they are on smart TV's or smartphones that they are either not done properly or are bug ridden or on their Android operating system on their smartphones you can never put their apps to the SD card.

I find both apps to be such a pain in the rear to use but the video quality on the new app makes up for it, certain channels look better than broadcast HD despite everything on YouTube having a crippled bitrate.
