Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Woah, it's recording a lot of suggestions now! I'm trying to put ratings on the shows that I know about and have already watched, for example I give Everybody Loves Raymond three thumbs up as I really like that, Two and a Half Man two thumbs up as I drift away from it sometimes, and Scrubs one thumbs up as I only rarely watch it as the humour doesn't really get me. Also, given 'The Wright Stuff' three thumbs down and so hopefully I won't get anything related to him either.
TiVo has suggested Vampire Diaries - no thanks! Must thumbs down x3 and delete later.
I've been using the 'Discovery Bar' but only to look at shows I know about, it hasn't suggested anything new that has piqued my interest as of yet.
First time tonight I've seen a message telling me if I can change channel... thought it was going to change my current channel but it was just switching over the tuner that the last channel I was on was being kept on (keeps it on buffer if I want to switch back, clever eh?). Must try explaining that to the others later

Still waiting... 20 mins on the phone's timer now. Speaking to person 3....

I like VM enough to stay with them as a customer but, my god, sometimes when you contact them.....

What was the result about keeping t he V+?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I had three recordings scheduled tonight but I asked my TiVo not to change channel as I was watching football. Am I right in thinking that TiVo will automatically find the cancelled program & record a different showing?

to my thinking it should do? Someone will be along to correct me in regards to this?
But if it is live football you may be unlucky? I stand to be corrected?

I dont think it will as you cancelled it. If it did record a future version, how would you ever be able to cancel a recording?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
Does any one have a picture of a Tivo install? or could you tell me what cables come from the white box on the wall?

One. There's then the power brick and cable and either an HDMI or SCART cable according to your kit.
