TiVo General TiVo Discussion Part 3 - Page 146

1st thing I noticed is that I jumped from 60% full last night to 98% full. It seems to have put all my deleted shows back.

Just a heads up to those who keep theirs pretty full.

Off to do some deleting

Have you had a look at the options (press green in my shows) The list can be customised, perhaps not to the degree you're after but better than the default.

Hope that helps

Spent half an hour deleting the correct shows and back down to 60% free space! but still no shows recording past Friday. All showing as clashes or not enough space.

I bumped a few recording priorities as that usually fixes this clash issue and forces everything to recheck, but that only got my recordings free to Monday. Doing a full reboot now to see if that will help.

On the plus side the reboot took place and completed wile I was typing this. That was FAST

Edit to add:

The reboot didn't make a difference, but two more runs of switching a few recording priorities finally forced everything to show as recording without clashes

Thanks for mentioning that. I hadn't looked at the options and choosing the 'Going Away Soon' alerted me to a couple of films I haven't watched that will be delteed in a couple of days.

You've answered your own question. If you ran simple middleware on the TiVo hardware, it would be quick. (Have you used a V-HD? That illustrates it nicely)

I had noticed that, but thanks anyway.

Even after I'd got rid the boxes I don't want, I still think it's worse than it used to be. For me, the only category left that I think added anything was the Movies and I don't think that added enough to make up for the more cluttered screen.

The fact you can get rid of the stuff you don't want makes it more annoying they didn't give us more choices. They could have left the options I wanted turned off by default and only let those of us who wanted them turn them on. The television programs are already categorized into these groups, so it shouldn't have taken any more work to implement it.

Just deleted the list of categories, they didn't match what we wanted and just cluttered up the screen too much

Like others have said, the screen shots didn't look to good, but the new colour scheme is pretty good

When I go in My Shows, then pressing Green then into My Shows Options, and going down to Left Column [Show Categories], I get the option to Show These Categories

However when I select say 'Going Away Soon', and press the Green button again to use these options, it doesn't display in the Left Column.

Must be down to single figures now surely (there were 23 areas still to be done according to an earlier post and at least 12 have been done since then and I don't think that included Manchester which was done on Monday). I wonder if the remaining areas will be done tonight?

I did say "23-ish". There are now 11 left, and we expect to finish next Tuesday.

Fingers crossed for Wolverhampton tomorrow - been last day but one a couple of times now so lets hope the theory holds!

I have assumed that this update fixes the "Not Available - No Longer In Guide" bug where the second back-to-back fails to record and disappears from planned recordings? I do hope I get the update before the weekend so I can check this scenario out as over the weekend my planned recordings are full of back-to-backs (with lots of overlap padding) on Sky F1 - I am sure if the bug still exists then I could get it to rear its ugly head the weekend. Could be the last easy way of attempting to provoke the bug until the F1 season starts next year!

Yes, it's fixed.

That depends on your tastes. Many people seemed to manage it with Emmerdale and Corrie

Interesting. It seems to be a relatively rare bug over on the VM forums - I was beginning to think it was just me that suffered from it! I am a little shocked that it has taken a year to get it fixed though.

Belfast now has the new update

1701-e · 20-11-2014, 08:13

Yes it has. Some users got emails about changes too.
