Wish the VM TiVo guide was a nice calm blue or green. I find all the red a bit headache inducing....

If I had to be critical of TIVO that's one thing I hae the SD screens granted most are just settings menus but the sooner their all HD the better , good news on an official Android app.

Have to agree there , as someone who has used both I prefer the Premiere colours over the garish red of the VM TIVO.

Unfortunately the 'new' HD EPG the US TiVo has just got is the one the VM TiVo has had all along

So at the moment no new new HD screens

Maybe red could be the default colour, but the user could define what they want? Wouldn't take much 'development' surely ? The VM logo could stay in red if it really has to.

Yes a little bit of personalisation would go a long way in my mind.

Right wasn't aware of that , the HD menus on VM TIVO are generally excellent and the graphics pop off the screen , my parents don't really do tech however they have picked it up pretty well on the whole. If the link below is to be believed it would appear the VM TIVO EPG and advanced features as forced a certain satellite company to have a rethink to STB software.

But it could still be the default colour with customers having a choice after that and in my mind that would not affect their corporate identity one jot.

Before I got tivo, I thought the red would look awfull, compared to the US tivo colour, but I find red works quite well and I don't mind it at all.
