Re: Does the TiVo need to maintain a connection to VM to set recordings, show the EPG

This also seems to be at a time when VOD is down.

Does the TiVo need to keep talking to the VM servers for these functions?

If not, could these be other issues connected to the sluggishness of the CPU?
I tried the EPG during todays total outage (not even any channels) and it worked fine although I did not try to set a recording. As before the recent update, the user interface is much quicker when the connection is down including starting/stopping recordings. For me, Tivo slowed down dramatically with last years update which I put down to constant verification over the network rather than looking at the smartcard.
