I live with 2 other adults. While only 2 of us really use the Tivo, it's normally 80-90% full. What I have found is that the convenience offered by the Tivo (remote setting and season links that work mainly) is that I do tend to record a lot of stuff I might otherwise have forgotten to record.

Of course, the downside is finding time to watch all the stuff recorded..

We hover around 60-70%

I tend to record movies and not watch them for maybe a year, but because you don't need to watch them to save space.

I also like to keep football matches such as city3-2qpr

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3

Check out the TV listings for Sky Sports this weekend. Sat and Sunday. It's completely out of sync with the correct order.

Then get in the car, drive to the chippy/chinese, get your tea, drive back and sit your arse firmly back down on the couch.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3

Still waiting for an update, I was using my brother in laws Sky last weekend and their box and UI was much, much faster and slicker.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3

Hi everyone. Does anyone know why the "Celebrity" app within TiVo has been removed?

Yes personally if there's one big failure by Virgin it has been the failure to develop a string of good apps which in turn would mark them out from the other platforms.

This is late for you, you're usually in your bed by now

I agree about the apps, Virgin should have had hundreds up and running by now. Missed opportunity for revenue.

I agree with with you too. It does appear there needs to be NO reason for things to come or go, I was hoping that someone may know as to why it's no longer there. I know there are plenty of you out there "in-the-know".

BenMcr do you know why?
