Curious as to how this work, on the current V+ you can only rewind the channel your on.
How does this work with the tivo, can you rewind any 3 channels, or is it 3 that your recording, or is it if your flicking between 3?
Cheers in advance guys.

Yes but, the question was, can you rewind any or all of the three tuners?

I know, but he did say he'd got the S1 and was hoping to continue to use it, same situation as me really ('cept I've already got Virgin's Tivo ), my S1 has been the 'upstairs' PVR since V+ came along and I had hoped to continue with it but since Tivo are dropping the feed for the S1 in June I may have to look around for something else.

Re: TiVo

Without owning a TiVo yet, that T3 review pretty much sums up my current thoughts.
The perfect PVR is within touching distance, VM just need to sort out the EPG mistakes & give it the ability to update in realtime, red button, Box Office, the catchup issues mentioned in the review & the ability for it to have suggestions recorded in HD when available. Then I believe we'll have the greatest set top box on the planet.

Wasn't the catch-up problems sorted in one of the update?

I don't know because I'm not lucky enough to own one yet, maybe someone else can confirm. I certainly hope that's the case.

Re: TiVo

Yeah catchup pretty much works now. There's also iplayer, which sometimes has things not on catchup (in HD if available).

Since the last update Tivo seems to pick HD when it's available (which is somewhat controversial for those who only have SD TVs).

EPG is fine, and for any errors there are feedback channels (eg. the thread on TCF) although I haven't noticed anything major (the one thing I did notice got fixed after it was pointed out.. and in that case Sky had it wrong too..).
