You didn't need to wait for TIVO for PVR functionality. I haven't watched live TV for years.

TIVO is definitely the cream of the PVR crop though.

Just waiting for my install this afternoon. Will post later once installed

Had a recording fail yesterday. Bang goes the theory. It says in recording hiccups that it wasn't recorded as it had fallen foul of the 28 day rule as I have the episode already on my box. Despite the fact it was a premier with the "new" tag. The only Bang Goes the Theory I had was the winter special from Saturday (which it think's was first shown in 1/1/2000). I've had to manually set the repeat later in the week cos the series link just doesn't want to know about last night's episode. :lol:

I guess the question is will all this EPG data come good on 1st April, or is it a work in progress to improve it until then ? Cos as it stands at the moment I'm finding problem almost daily.

Did you have the series link set to New or New and Reruns?

It's best to use New and Reruns at the moment. All my series links are set to that have not had any duplicates recorded at all.

I think that is a bug so use "New and Reruns" for now as a "work around" as suggested.

Hi, can anyone confirm for us lot who have not had phonecalls or raffle tickets or remotes in the post, or who are series1 tivo owners whether we will have to pay the £40 install fee?

you will be emailed within the next 2 weeks, this will confirm the costings to you.

AFAIK you will have to pay install.

Look out for the forum being flooded with complaints then, and quite rightly so in my view.

Non prize/raffle winers have got it for 149 with no instal charge. Why should we pay more?

Everyone not part of the draws should be having to pay £40 install unless they qualify for free install due to other services they are taking out.

In my browsing through the various forums, I've seen people posting that they've just had to pay 149.

If all non prize winners have to pay for install, then that's fair enough, but that doesnt seem to be the case.

I must hjave missed something in the droves of pages in this thread. When has the install dropped from £149 to £40?

and re reading that unless they qualify for free install due to other services they are taking out I hope that means VIP is free install

It hasn't. The £149 is the up-front fee for the TiVo and the £40 is the installation fee that has been waived for some customers.
