When does anything work as it should? I have not had anything like it, So to me everything is working as it should for me ( Maybe not some of the others )

Which things are you refering to that don't work as they should?

SD picture quality , rebooting boxes , intermittent remote record , having to select first run and rerun due to bad EPG data , to long winded to set up series links the list goes on.

And did all the first SKY+ and HD boxes all go without a hitch when they were first released

I think that it is all the same with new tech

Exactly! There are long long bug report threads in Sky forums but the posts in them are usually by users who actually own a sky box.

This should be interesting.

I created a Wishlist to record all Sci-Fi movies. Its going to record 2 movies from that Wishlist at 6pm, plus Doctor Who (from a series link) at 6. So, that's 3 tuners in use from 6pm.

I'm watching the live footy game on ESPN now, and beyond 6pm - will TiVo cancel one of my recordings to free up a tuner, or will it ask me if its OK to use my 'ESPN' tuner for one of my recordings?

Guess I'll find out in 25 minutes.

Had mine installed Wednesday (He came when I just left for work, cheers wife

) and so far... WOW!

Been a week of new goodies into the house and the Tivo is now paired up to a 42" LG and the HD is simply awsome. SD is ok in places but then again the I'm getting used to both the new toys.

One thing I've not found an easy way to do, but then again I'm at work "researching" while on my break, is time padding.
V+ had a option to add minutes to all recordings. From what I've done so far, I have to add each one when I set recordings. Am I missing it or is this something we'll have to wait for?
Still, I'm reading/learning alot about the machine.

Oh and the extras next to each show is a gem

No you are not missing anything, you have to add padding to each show ( I may stand to be corrected ).
