Live sports I get (though I would have thought that recording it will always be preferable as what happens if you're not there to see the reminder? ) but setting one for "Newsnight"; seriously? Again, just record it then you don't have to be there at exactly 10:32pm.

Fine, but it's still a "mistake" on either side to assume that you are right and they are wrong

Funny, i've had the V+ for a few years and have just last week upgraded to TIVO and the first thing i noticed was how much better the SD looked than with the Samsung V+ and this is with 2 separate boxes

Re: I love TiVo
Again no problem with the picture here.
The network issues are with & on the Tivo box ( what ever the cause that is the fact) Very few if any problems before it was introduced, on BB. No link I find that had to believe, seems to be a connection here. BB fine before Tivo came. BB & Tivo down at some point nearly every week.
As speed upgrades are months if not a year away here I guess that`s not the cause.
I see a pattern. OK no proof but its strange.
It can not deliver what the " poor, basic and outdated " V+ can how is that cutting edge !
My advise to any Non Tivo customers is
a) just wait
b) If you can reduce the cost, try it (£10 a month off my bill by having it means I live with it.)
Or
c) Get it but be prepared to be disappointed .You may not, but do not say that some people have not warned you.

Re: I love TiVo
Don't listen to any of the above. Many many happy TiVo customers, myself included.
People need to stop comparing TiVo to V+ it's a totally different product and there for has slightly different set of standard features. It's not that TiVo is missing them or VM left them out, however VM are working together with TiVo to add new things to the software and so far already have made quite a few changes.

I am not comparing TiVo to V+ i like the TiVo box,but part of the fuction in my mind is for the box to make my life easier as a pay TV subscriber therefore any features that will do this are quite welcome.
After all when Sky develope a new box they to my knowledge do not leave off features that made their current boxes popular,and of course the key point is any added features do NOT have to be used by those that say there are no need for them to be there,i will promise not to twist their arm to make them do so.

Not at all Carl the reason TiVo is getting said features is because VM have listened to their customers! and i promise Carl you will not have to use the features you say are redundant i promise.

Try setting a whishlist on the V+
Recording a third channel
Recording more than 20 hrs HD or 80 hrs SD
Be certain that V+ wil pick up a series link automatically for the next season of your favourite show
Automatically find and record a repeat showing (if there is one) for show that didn't get recorded because you already had three shows recording (make that only two shows recording on V+)
Automatically record similar shows to the ones you already like
Intelligently search for a a show, and instantly get options to set a series link, or wishlist or watch from on demand if available
Get full series and season episode listings for a show.
Browse upcoming content on TV and On Demand by genre
Wow, how 'un cutting edge' is the V+!
OK The V+ has remiders and red button, both of which are due to be added to Tivo.

Okay. What exactly did you enter? I am happy to try and re-create it here; just so see if I have the same problem

No need to be so patronising 
Perhaps there weren't any programmes matching what you entered. Did you spell it correctly? If it was an actor or director wishlist then you're better doing a general search for the name and setting up the wishlist that way because the names have to be entered as "lastname, firstname" to work properly.

No. It's the most advanced DVR available today. However, it is really just a computer, so the GIGO rule still applies.

Depends how much you record.

Do you have a family? With kids? If so, you may get to record that much? Even if you don't, you have the option.

Why wouldn't it? Or are you seriously suggesting that you set shows to record when you are not really bothered whether you see them or not?
Quote:

Hence you can disable that if need be.

Google doesn't integrate with on demand, or allow you to set recordings for future showings.
