Five questions about Tivo after 6 months use, help please
Hey all,
Well we have had Tivo for just over 6 months now, going from a V+. Its 50/50 on love / hate for the Tivo but in our house we have 5 regular questions which were hoping you guys can answer! 1) When recording a series such as location, location for the missus, sometimes it will record quite a few. When we come to delete them we have a folder neatly placed but then have to select the individual episodes and go through two or three menus to delete, is there a quicker way to select them all and do one delete? 2) Red button does not appear on any channel? 3) Iplayer seems to spend alot of time buffering during play back, its Ok most of the time but did it three times the other night, which can get a little tiresome, can we sort this? 4) Is there any way to reduce the number of steps to get to a the on demand? 5) Have they provided a patch for the reminder feature? we miss that quite alot Thanks! ;) |

I have TiVo question too.
I cancelled SKY Movies about 2 months ago. Why does my TiVo never record / recommend movies from terrestrial TV that I may like? For example I've gave plenty of thumbs up to zombie programmes and movies like The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later yet I know it won't recommend Day Of The Dead on ITV4 tonight, even though I have nothing else planned to record at that time. Does TiVo not auto record movies from terrestrial TV? P.S. I only started giving thumbs up and down to movies once I cancelled SKY Movies. Prior to that I'd happily trawl through on demand. I can't remember if TiVo ever recommended a movie for me off SKY. |

I'm of the opinion if something hasn't been explained fully to you at the point of sale, you've been mis-sold the product. If TiVo doesn't record movies people taking TiVo should be informed of this up front. If Virgin know TiVo doesn't record movies, and they choose not to make customers aware, to me that's a lie and Virgin aren't being completely open or honest. This might seem a little hard on Virgin but now I don't have SKY Movies, I'd love TiVo to auto record me films.... in fact I expect TiVo to auto record films for me. Surely that isn't too much to expect? |

Sorry, Chad, I can't help with your question, but have you considered setting up a horror films WishList? |

I just thought it would be good if TiVo automatically picked up movies through the week so come a Friday, Saturday or Sunday I'd have plenty of options to choose from. With the XL package you're probably getting access to around 100 to 150 films per week. TiVo could easily store all of these movies. Instead come a Friday, Saturday or Sunday I find myself looking through Film Flex with the wife looking for a movie........ wait a minute I wonder if this is the reason why TiVo doesn't record movies. Virgin would rather have you paying to watch movies instead of having a collection conveniently building up on your TiVo box, effectively free. Not only that, if TiVo is doing it's job correctly the movies building up on your box should match your viewing tastes. What a dream, a collection of films your likely to enjoy. ---------- Post added at 19:19 ---------- Previous post was at 19:08 ---------- I've just posted the question over on Virgins Help & Support forum for anyone that's interested: http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...e/td-p/1165197 Hopefully someone in the know at Virgin can give me some feedback. |

Extracted from the Tivo user guide.
"If you give something a Thumbs Up, your TiVo box will record similar shows and movies, and you’ll find them in your Suggestions list. Giving a show a Thumbs Down, will help prevent similar shows being suggested to you in the future." So in theory it will do what you want:D Its available here ---------- Post added at 19:56 ---------- Previous post was at 19:55 ---------- Go to page 20 |

Set it as low priority in Manage My Series Links, then it won't interfere with any of your planned recordings. |

Does everyone else get movie suggestions recorded automatically on their TiVo? I mean without setting up a Wish List. ---------- Post added at 20:25 ---------- Previous post was at 20:25 ---------- Quote:

As a test, I've just thumbed a load of non-Sky films (and nothing else) on a spare TiVo, and will see what happens. |

Iron Man - Film 4 The Italian Job - Channel 5 Saw - E4 Die Hard 4.0 - Film 4 Total Recall - ITV2 Transporter 2 - E4 Beetlejuice - 5* Return of The Living Dead 2 - TCM Twelve Monkeys - SYFY Shallow Grave - Film 4 Let's see if TiVo records them automatically for me, or suggests something similar. I've tried to pick varied films from varied channels. I expect other movies such as The Shining, XXX2, K-Pax, Gremlins, Cellular and Oceans Twelve to be suggested to me. Will report back on Friday. Hopefully it's all down to me not giving enough thumbs up. |
