That's good news DF, would be a shame to see the Virgin flagship box lagging behind once new things get added to the Premiere.

I notice on the TiVo survey link that I posted, they mention a feature already on our boxes, so maybe the TiVo team in the US are learning from VM also.

Besides, the decision to like or dislike a suggestion would surely come down to the content of the programme and not what resolution its broadcasted at, no?

I agree that the option to specify HD for suggestions would be good for people who desire it. Personally, I would put adding reminder functionality first (but that's just me ).
However watching 90 mins of SD football is a big difference to 90 mins of HD football. My pref would be the option to always record HD if available.

I have 182 suggestions using just 42% disc space with all my other recorded shows, I think I could live with a quarter of that if it meant suggestions where in HD. Once you get used to HD SD looks very blurry and dampers the enjoyment.

whats worse is a lot of the C4 suggestions are being recorded from the AD channel.

Shouldn't make any difference, unless you have AD switched on

AD sound track is only made available by the broadcasters on the London version of their channels - so to get AD soundtrack you have to have the London channels available as well as your local channel.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Why then do you have to enable AD on the AD channels, couldn't they just make the AD audio stream the default one?

Now, shows not being tagged as new I can handle but the wrong show completely is a major issue
Comedy Central's guide data seems to be an hour behind.

The "AD" channels are actually the normal London channels renamed, so both audio streams are required otherwise people in London wouldn't be able to turn AD off.
