I love TiVo
So I was all set to leave VM after the recent price rises, but was offered a great deal by outbound retentions to stay. This included swapping my V+ for a Tivo with free installation and activation.
After just over a week of having Tivo, I'm so glad I stayed with VM.
What I like:
*The look - much more stylish than the V+. Really like the remote too, feels more premium.
*Three Tuners that can record at the same time whilst watching recorded programme. Used to get alot of clashes with V+.
*Suggestions- One of fave features. It's recorded quite a few shows that I didn't even know were on.
*Folders- Makes things less messy with less scrolling.
*YouTube- Nice to have it on big screen.
*Wishlists- Now records all shows/films with my fave actors/directors
I was worried as I'd seen lots of negative comments about tivo on forums (maybe these were before updates) and to be honest prob wouldn't have paid for tivo until it had been running for a few years and ironed out all the problems. But as it was free (with £3 monthly fee instead of £5) I took the plunge.
One question, where the recording lights are I've noticed there is a 4th light. What is this for?

Well it's still not perfect, of course, but it is better than it was

Future use, maybe? No-one really knows.

Re: I love TIVO
Is there a 4th tuner inside that isn't active?

Re: I love TIVO
its not perfect but I agree it is a lot better than it was I sent my first tivo back but have taken the plunge again and have been re tivod for about 2 weeks now.
It has vastly improved imo than when it first came out.

Re: I love TIVO
If I remember correctly the 4th light is something to do with interactive or VOD?

You must be refering to the VM Tivo forum; the unofficial 'whingers of the world' forum!

Re: I love TIVO
I had Tivo installed yesterday, but haven't been able to use it yet! Called up yesterday evening to be told there was a problem registering all installs yesterday. Does anyone have an update on when this problem will be fixed?
Thanks.
