Lured into bad company by the temptation of more HD channels. We understand.

What size screen do you have?

The trick is not to post about 'those activities' on forums

Regarding the soft picture compared to V+...
Are we talking SA V+ or Samsung V+?

I am concerned over the soft picture but I did notice a big drop in SD quality when Virgin changed my SA For Samsung.

So is the comparison largely against the SA..

I have a Panasonic 50" Plasma

I prefer the picture quality on TiVo to the waning V+ I had before it.

I'm sure you'll love it also.

I'm watching the live footy game on ESPN now, and beyond 6pm - will TiVo cancel one of my recordings to free up a tuner, or will it ask me if its OK to use my 'ESPN' tuner for one of my recordings?

Guess I'll find out in 25 minutes.

Classy - because I cancelled The Time Machine recording on Watch, TiVo has started recording it from Watch + 1 now that Doctor Who has finished recording and a tuner is free.

Clever little bugger.

TIVO vs Dish Network News

the great thing about tivo is the clear and detailed EPG data. I set a wishlist for Law and Order, and it not only recorded all episodes across all channels but it discards repeats of the same episode, and gives you a clear idea of the series and episode numbers. Great way to save time and HDD space!

Gets better and better.

Best bit is when you set the wish list you can actually put it to do HD version only and it actually worked,I really am loving my tivo and for all you doubters as to how good it is shame on you

As regards sd picture quality avoid sd channels as i prefer hd but sometimes no choice i personally think its better than my v+ and HD picture defo better

How did you automatically select HD for shows that have both SD and HD?

When you set up your wishlist go down to category and it lets you pick HD,Found this whilst playing and it works a treat is actually listed on my box as psychoville*HD i have done the same with torchwood but only put it to record new.
It then chooses the HD version instead of SD

PQ is subjective. Some like it, some don't. Miine rarely re-boots. All of my "new only" SLs are working fine. EPG data has always been occasionally flakey, even with the S1. It's three clicks to set up a basic CL. Hardly "long-winded".
