There should be an option like 'You have set a reminder for this programme. Do you want it recorded as well?'

l for one won't be complaining as lets just be happy that we are going to get reminders.

I am so glad VM don't listen to people who think because they don't want reminders then the rest of us should not have them at all.

-1 As I will not have any use for the millions of post it notes that I have

Except that in a situation where you have three recordings going already then whether a "reminder" records it as well or not is a moot point as it would have to stop recording something to change channels anyway.

We will see how it works out, but getting reminders back is important to me

Will look for source again but it's well known app has been ready for months.

Vm withheld it because they said it was an issue that you need to connect a network cable to the box as they felt it would be a limiting factor for most customers so they wanted to look at some form of alternative fix, so they are withholding the app. Likely been ready since end of last year.

Found it,

Not totally correct, they are still testing the app and adding extra features to it.

I found 'reminders' very useful when with 'Sky' and so I'm pleased with this upgrade.

roger skillin · 13-08-2012, 12:39

How about them making an update so it works as fast as Sky's software has for the last 8 years or so, I've been with Virgin and NTL before and cambridge cable before that for years and love the service (most of the time) but the tv box software has never been to the standard of Sky's,

this really showed up in the red buttong olympics coverage, the first week i was away and using Sky and it was fast and lovely to use but the second week i was back home and using the service on Tivo was dire, i had to restart the box a few times when trying to access a sport as it just locked up, and when it did work it was painfully slow to get to it ( yes i was aware thst the channels were available seperate from 501 onwards)

Cambridge Cable, now there is a name from the past!! Remember begging my parents to let us have that when I was a kid, happier days

Ok who is going to be the first to say that they have got the update tomorrow?

Heres hoping.

Anyone any idea if this feature improves the amount of menus needed to navigate On Demand ? It's my biggest annoyance when using TIVO.

Yes, I believe that's part of what it'll do

muppetman11 · 13-08-2012, 15:24

Thanks , looks like that will be a very welcome upgrade with the other additions.
