Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

Tomorrow nights Frozen Planet on BBC ONE on 101 and BBC ONE HD on 108 have 2 different episodes listed.

Channel 101 has the episode "On Thin Ice" which is correct

Channel 108 has the episode "The Last Frontier" which is wrong.

I would change the series link to New and Reruns to be on the safe side.

So BBC red button and ITV red button could still come this year. Let's wait and see.
There is no proof of this coming this year and why don't you just sit down and have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit and all these things will come to you in due time.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I have to agree that I find this also a great feature. Took a lot of retraining having previously mastered the V+ timing but now I think I've mastered it.
Only problem is when visiting the in laws I look like a complete idiot when trying to use their V+. maybe need to persuade them to upgrade.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I too like the skip back feature of the fast forward, however I do wish that Virgin didn't nanny the speed for the UK. When fast forwarding at x3 the skip back is a huge 30 seconds (15 secs @ x2 & 0 secs @ x1) which would be okay if the speed of the fast forward was fast! If you look at the rewinding speed which is twice that of the fast forward speed, the skip back feature is almost magical when traveling at a good rate of knots. With the current speed you have to wait till you see a good chunk of the program in order for the skip back to rewind to a place you want and those with good reflexes could be sitting through 15+ seconds of adverts.

So what I'm trying to say is either increase the fast forward speed by 50% (which I'd prefer) or reduce the skip back by 50% to give us what I think the feature was designed.
