But, as Helix states, it does say on the web-page (linked to on the Twitter page you linked to)

On TiVo, we’ve currently got a Red Button link to our full BBC iPlayer and CNBC app on our TiVo service and we’re working with our channel partners to get it extended to other channels. We’re hoping to have a full range of Red Button services by early next year.

You really have to read what's there, not what you hope it states....

I have noticed Virgin Media can never stick to a deadline

1. Red button
2. To be able to set the default to favorites on the guide.
3. When you record a series link it just records new programs as default (not re-runs etc,)
4. Indication on recorded programs to show if they have been viewed (as V+ Box) (particularly handy if you have 14 year old who cannot delete a recording once viewed

Any update on this ?

Are you working on a Dymamic EPG for Tivo ? If you are Will it be implemented sometime next year ?

This was the reply

Hi ,

We're currently working with TiVo to look at more frequent updates to the guide data, however at present I can't commit to when that would be deployed to our customers.

Our long-term goal is to add dynamic updates to the TiVo EPG but we are some way off that.

Hope that answers your question.

regards
Stephen.

I wonder how frequent these updates to the guide data will be.

Every 6 hrs ? every 8 hrs ? every 12 hours ?

At the moment it is every 24hrs.

Dymamic EPG is there long-term goal.

When you press "guide" you can then press the blue button and select "my favorites". This will be remembered next time you go to "guide".

You can change the series link settings to "new only", although you have to do this manually for each series link.

Just checked and the blue button favourites default works on the mini guide as well.

Not on my TiVo. It's currently one of the most annoying things. Sometimes 'Favourites' will be selected, the next time I use the EPG it won't. If VM could just make the blue button selection 'sticky' - at least throughout a session - it would make my TiVo a whole lot more pleasant to use.

I'd report that then if I were you-it works fine for me.
