I thought this was supposed to be TiVos biggest selling point , discovering new content. What do you need a tv magazine for ?

I've never bought a tv magazine in years.
I wouldn't rely on the Tivo to guess everything I'd like recorded. In fact, I've missed one or two series before that I was lucky enough not to miss when they were repeated. The suggestions are just a useful back up and are not to be relied upon.

However, I have certainly been impressed by the way Tivo remembers your series links and without fail picks up the next series shown. That is a very useful trick the Tivo performs. I don't think the Sky + HD box does this.

As an aside, quite happy to keep paying the licence fee as the Mrs is a bit technically challenged and prefers linear.
So you don't bother recording your preferred programmes from linear TV? I think you are unnecessarily reducing your choice by not doing so. Fast forwarding through the commercials is not really a pain - very little time is wasted by doing so.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
I was referring to the whole search and discover thing rather than just Suggestions.

I'm not sure what the sections on Tivo are called but on Sky Q you have Top Picks , New Series , For you , featured , more like this etc it's nearly impossible to miss a show these days. These features are mirrored on the mobile apps also.

Is that also available on the Sky+ box?

Now TV added that functionality a little while ago. Not something I use, but useful for some people I guess.

Personally I use the Premier dates list on TV Wise, and the email updates from this thread for Now TV box sets removal and additions:

I don't think the studios have it them, Netflix is here for the long haul and is far too ahead of the competition now, US studios are still stuck in a old world of thinking which is very US focused. None of them will be willing to roll out a world wide streaming service, and if one of them did what would they show, just movies and TV shows from their own catalogue? Not only can Netflix cut deals with all the studios they can also commission top quality drama of their own.

I don't think this is a true at all, all the shows I want to watch are available on one of the three services that I sub to all at less cost then the XL pack. No multi room cost and I can watch on what device I want where I want over whatever connection happens to be available. Why tie myself to a box that is connected to my living room TV only? The only reason I have a Tivo is VM didn't want to take it back. They only use it has gotten in the last year and half is all the referendum stuff and the Euros. Otherwise it is all streaming.

Your right forwarding through the adds consumes very little time, but not having to forward through them wastes even less time and more importantly you don't get brought out of the moment when watching something dramatic.

Wurl Network brings OTT channels to cable boxes

I would hope that with its renewed emphasis on content, Virgin Media content chiefs will be actively seeking out opportunities like this to increase their offering.

http://www.rapidtvnews.com/201607264...#axzz4FdYoZ5Xh

In what is being billed as the launch of the first streaming cable TV network, Wurl has unveiled the Wurl Network.

The network provides five channels of 24/7 programming, featuring shows produced by various digital and traditional media brands. Wurl's channels are broadband-delivered through cable TV operators' Internet-connected set-top boxes and appear in operators' on-screen guides – just like legacy cable channels.

The available channels are the Alt Channel, Streaming News Network, The Sports Feed, Baeble Music TV and the Popcornflix Channel. So far, they have been integrated with pay-TV systems in use by more than 50 operators serving over 13 million homes. Viewers can fast-forward and rewind any show, binge view multiple episodes, and watch any programme on-demand at any time.

“We're helping cable operators do two things - deliver new programming and create a new cable channel experience that offers deep engagement,” explained Sean Doherty, Wurl CEO and co-founder. "In an entertainment environment where viewers demand control and choice, Wurl provides cable operators with new channels that deliver the programming and the on-demand experience that viewers want.”

“We are excited to be offering Wurl's channels to our subscribers,” added Loren King, product manager at Fidelity Communications, a multi-system cable operator based in Missouri. “We now have a new source of programming and new interactive viewing features that will give us a competitive edge.”

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services
VM CEO said today that he wants VM customers to have access to everything, but that they are not going to spend billions on exclusive content.

"Netflix is more friend than foe as customers need broadband to access it".

It's not that bad though, Max.

http://advanced-television.com/2016/...le-tv-network/

I'm not sure that there is a lot there for me personally, but I would have thought a lot of VM TV subscribers would appreciate this additional choice.

It looks a lot better than Tru TV, which I would definitely steer well clear of!

The film channel might be ok.

My TiVo has suggested that I try the American version of Nightmare Neighbour From Hell on truTV, so i'm going to give it a go.
