Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Nah. Sorry VM, this upgrade is going to suck. Hopefully they will still have the option of having the black and white look. Will be using that instead of this plum colour. Awful.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
They still seem to be stuck in that World Wide Web circa 2000 look...

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
I personally love the new look. So much sharper and cleaner looking.

They did a deal with TiVo to use their kit and then ruined one of its key features - suggestions.

Style over substance. Suggestions as they were meant to be or menus in hd? Nah, we'll make it look good and hope they don't notice it's no longer as good as it used to be.

It's up to US TiVo to turn more of them HD - VM TiVo has the same number HD screens as US TiVo does now.

The high contrast (black & white) option is still there.

Well if we all had the same tastes and opinions life would be very boring MM.

Style over substance only applies if no extra functionality is added and it's just a cosmetic makeover.
Functionality was added. The lack of the mini TV screen in planned recordings and other menus was a nuisance as you couldn't continue to watch or listen when checking these things.
Also, re-ordering series links locked up the box for ages (around 20 minutes for me) whilst it was processing the changes. Now it doesn't and you can simply re-order by taping a number in a box.
Both of these were big functionality improvements for me.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
I actually think it looks quite good , there are plenty of positives one being the move to HTML 5 perfect for the arrival of the new iPlayer.
My Shows can now be filtered by Genres which is useful especially if you have a 1TB box which may have pages of recordings Sky have this feature in their planner and its extremely useful if you only want to display movies or a specific genre.
I'll be interested to give it a go when it arrives.
