Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
I pressed the red button on BBC channel last night and only got Iplayer. Is that what they mean when they say they haven't got the red button service yet? For instance, sometimes live sports is available on the red button i.e. different table matches during snooker events, but I can't seem to access this before like I used to do with the V+HD box.

It's a fuzzy bit of copyright law that allows PVRs to exist in the first place. Specifically http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/copy/c-o...-timeshift.htm
The second paragraph is important when you are talking about streaming:
Obviously there is no real benefit for individuals to be investigated for not deleting/wiping a recording they've made, but the Copyright holders will likely be very keen to make the distinction between the 'timeshift' exception and multi-room streaming which I think they class as something else
|
But this ruling is presumably very relevant, where people are complaining that Tivo does not have a 'backup to DVD/VCR' in the same way that the V+ has. Strictly speaking, by providing this facility on the V+, VM are/were allowing or encouraging customers to break the law by making permanent copies of their PVR recordings.
My impression is that content owners have been relatively easy about this sort of facility, which has been around for many years, because you are only recording an analogue version of the content (transmitted via SCART) re-digitized by your DVD recorder. The same tolerance would presumably not be applied to direct re-recording of any digital content via ethernet or HDMI, and certainly not to HD content.

So tell me how long has it been promised ! I really hope it happens soon, just will believe it when I see it .
Abraham Lincolns speech about fooling people comes to mind!!! when getting a promise from Virgin on big issues.
Customer service is a different thing - always great I find

There is a old saying Itshim and that is "I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative".
