That's great for hardware with decent GPUs but not for our TiVo boxes.
What we need is an OnLive app!!

That would be a great idea!

It would also cure the massive flaw with OnLive at the moment

Just checked Remote Record & those shows have been on already so the EPG still isnt working right on Comedy Central as i tried setting up New Series link from box last night & it was set to record 182 shows, i hope they sort out the series link problem soon as this is getting a bit much now, i want New Shows to record not 182 Shows.

Yes this is quite poor and not good enough in my mind and surely someone should be keeping a constant eye on the EPG to make sure everything is up to date and working properly.

Reducing Red Button transmissions making the service consistent across all digital TV platforms.

The bbc red button streams will be the same amount across Digital TV which would mean the same amount as freeview which is 1 stream ?
Could this be mean more bandwith for a extra HD channel ie BBC HD or BBC News HD or both ?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2

I think what they're saying is that there's a lot of reinventing the wheel with Red Button. You've basically got 3 platforms: MHEG, Open TV and Liberate. I would guess that there's no 'master feed' of content but instead a goodly amount of internal inefficiency to repurpose the content for all of these platforms and their sub-types. This is probably what they're talking about.

They're not looking at freeing up bandwidth but saving money!
