Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
My experience also. I can only assume that now all TiVos have the update that it will be tweaked to get rid of these annoyances.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Well after the initial pilot update where things were perfectly fast and responsive our boxes seem to be getting slower and slower in the last week or so and l hope this improves soon as this is not what l expected.

Den I have to agree , our Tivo is slowing down at times it feels like it needs winding up. My Three year old Panasonic freeview box is lightening fast in comparison.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Too many gimmicks/apps on it that few use, all slows it down. VMs other boxes/Sky/Freeview are lightning quick in comparison. Most people just want to watch/record TV on their TV boxes (weird I know...)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
The last technician that came told me the Tivo is slow because it has so much information to process.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Spider & Ben... seems there's a good few problems with slow TIVO's after the update.
Would be great if u lads could pass the worries/issues onto your TIVO tech dept.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Surely that means it's the total number of users overloading the servers that is the issue here?

I am keeping a close eye on this thread, but I'm not aware of anything specific. If you could provide timings (or, better still, put an unlisted video on YouTube and PM me a link) that would help. Also let me know if it speeds up after a reboot.

The servers may be a factor sometimes (especially in the VOD menus), but most user interactions don't use a server.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
I'd like to think the new software was written to work well with the current hardware.
The VM TiVo must be around 4 or 5 years old by now, could this be a factor? Is the software too advanced for the hardware?
This speed issue does need to be sorted if they want to stay ahead of the game, we have seen the Sky HD box catch up with functionality this year (recently deleted folder & set once series links)

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
The TIVO definitely needs to run more smoothly than it does at present, and the BBC i-Player needs fixing.
I used to be proud to show off my Tivo but it can be a bit embarrassing at times now when waiting for it to respond.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
MODS
Please could we have a new thread for the TIVO problems many people are experiencing?
Spider would like specific details, times etc and i don't think we want to clog up any other thread with it.
If others think this is not necessary then so be it...just a suggestion

To my mind this is the most pressing problem for discussion about TiVo at the moment.
