Re: Reminders are here!
So I see Ben, I must have misread your earlier post. I was posting in this thread at the same time as you so didn't see your reply

Except that you know full well that that's not completely true, don't you Carl? It will only switch to the programme that's being recorded if it uses the currently active tuner. If it uses one of the other tuners it will record in the background without switching. Why every time this subject is brought up you feign complete ignorance (I assume you're just feigning ignorance, aren't you?) is beyond me, unless you just have to have the last word in every discussion.

Re: Reminders are here!
Are some people really too lazy to press a couple of buttons?

Re: Reminders are here!
At the end of the day, some people really missed reminders from the V+ box, so it is now there to be used if they want to use it. If you don't want to use it then don't. A lot of you are getting so petty on here!

Re: Reminders are here!
That's right, when it doesn't fit your usage patterns it must be laziness.
You've been given several examples in the many threads you've participated in of how and when it would be useful, none of which involve laziness so stop pretending that you don't know why they're wanted by some users. Just because you're an old-school TiVo user you act as if you're personally offended when people want to deviate from the "pure" TiVo experience and quite frankly it's getting tiresome seeing you feign ignorance just for the sake of arguing.

Nothing to do with it at all.

All of which I have accepted and agreed with. But none of which could not be achieved just as easily without reminders.

Does it really matter what people press and how many time all you do is bitch about other people if you don't like it ....don't post.
I don't agree with somethings but iam not going out of my way to try and argue with other people.

I think it's more expressions of disappointment than full-blown moans. A bit like hoping to meet an old friend that you miss and finding out that they're not going to turn up after all.

I guess its because up to their usual standards Virgin/TiVo have not (as yet) delivered what the users, that, want reminders actually want.
My guess is all (ok nearly all) would be ex V+ users . All that was/is required is to replicate how it worked/s on that. Clearly this is something that`s hard to understand

Sorry Den its not a moan its a statement. TiVo has time & time again come up short of the mark. I guess if you want Hangman & Star trek apps, or poor pictures on the red button yes its delivered in spades. If you mean reminders that do that, quick & easy access to a programme no.
Granted its in the lead but given today`s standards ( see the new apple lap top, wow that has some great pictures I would even say forget TV`s under 21" its far better ) Its not going to be there a lot longer. The price coming down, in real terms shows it was over hyped.
Its good but not great - that I can live with when all said & done its a PVR with a lot ( for me I accept) toys on it. That still fails on what I consider basic options. Long on promises short on delivery. I just hope that new subscribers go in with eyes open. Still I will stick with it as Leslie used to say "the price is right"
I wonder how much 3 SKY + boxes( multi room)would cost with BB ? more the virgin I guess So stick with it for now
