On mine it just says SKY SPORTS and then live under it? Could be a problem with the HD feed 
Thought that I had gone back in time when there was one channel  |
Very strange.... Thanks for checking though, something to keep an eye on.

you'll need to call Customer Care, your account should have been noted about the call.

It's worth waiting for!

Are you lot for real?
If I have to do a full guided set up on my 10 year old S1 Tivo then the initial PHONE call takes about 30 minutes then about 4 hours or so to fully populate a 21 day epg.
Your fancy new box has a dedicated 10meg modem no? So it can download let's call it 1MB of data per second, or 60 meg a minute or 3.6 gig per hour or 86 GIG a day.
If it really takes a whole week to fully populate everything what is it doing with the 604 GIGABYTES of data?
Sounds like a real major step, er, backwards.

Yes it may take that, but do not forget that we get:
MOVIES ON DEMAND
CATCH UP TV ON DEMAND
TV CHOICE ON DEMAND
MUSIC ON DEMAND
BBC I PLAYER
YOU TUBE
7 DAY BACKWARDS EPG
So it does take a while to download all of this data as well.
Just my thoughts as I never had a S1 TIVO

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
How come when you go to the menus etc that sometimes the programme channel your watching appears in the box other times it says it cant be displayed?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
It only happens on the Sky channels due to the current contract agreement. Apparently it will be changed sometime this year

It's for the same reason that the V Box and V+ Box switch to the on-demand preview channel when you go into Interactive while tuned to a Sky channel.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Sorry that I don't have time to read through 150 pages but is there anyone else that hasn't received an email with details of how to order?

I'd ring Customer Services as fast as I could if I were you. You've only got until tomorrow to avoid the £40 installation charge.
