Sounds like a handy feature, Ben. Would that be a part of the update that will reinstate the old recordings fast-forward from the current bug that gives us warp-speed fast-forward? Any time-scale on this?

I have the update and checked against a recording from yesterday. A HD programme should playback at around 2x speed when FF is pressed the 1st time.

Which box for you have? TiVo or V6
Just to point out that we've had this discussion already about the fix coming:

That's pretty cool, I think!

Media Boy Sources told us that feature was testing over three months ago. Thanks for confirm as to why our TiVo boxes was getting updated for over 25 mins at about 1.50am to 2.15am on Wednesday night.
We do not watch Live TV that much.

If this blue button for HD is area rolled out how come my girlfriend has an old Tivo and lives around the corner has this, and I have a V6 and yet, don't have it. Is it also machine specific.

As a sports lover that is a very good swap out for me. I have watched more Premier sports in a few days than UKTV channels in a year.

It won't be much of a good swap out in around six weeks when you don't have Premier Sports for free anymore, though.

Perhaps they will make it free for much longer given what has transpired.
