A lot of the changes to the US TiVo recently has been in part due to the changes that VM got added. Example some of the new HD screens.

Thats really reassuring to hear, thanks. Any little bits of information that you could share?

It's because on the TiVo the box is able to use all 3 tuners so the only way to ensure the tuner is free is to set a recording. On the V+ box there is always a tuner dedicated to live TV.

most annoying.

How are you trying to exit the mini guide? If you press TV it will end the recording but if you press clear (below 7) it will close the mini guide and continue playing back

As well as Ben B's advice, the mini guide will close itself in about 15 seconds if that helps?

Hope they concentrate on speed and performance with any upgrade and not fancy apps which nobody uses. The VHD and Sky boxes are lightening quick in comparison. Maybe it needs dejunking of useless features and just concentrate on recording tv programmes.

Would like to see Iplayer go as it clearly doesn't work that well and PQ is poor. Again the cheaper VHD box is superior for catch up. Also it'd nice if they'd let Tivo (DVR) Commander work again. It did no harm and they've failed to come up with an official alternative.

iplayer works great and PQ is great on my TiVos.

I am sure that working on the stability and speed are top priority for VM/TiVo to work on.

The recording features of the tivo are good.
I like the appearance of the menus.
Things which aren't up to scratch are:

It seems to get very warm even on standby
It is very slow to boot up when turned off
Ondemand is slow and cumbersome to navigate.

Put the video output settings back to how they should be!

Android needs some official loving! (app)

I've been having the slow downs, only as of recent though (last month onwards).
My biggest gripe is having to go from Live TV to an information screen to change recording details rather than do it all on screen within a frame.
