Re: TiVo
Do you not spend a lot of time deleting programmes you don't want to watch?

Suggestions are automatically deleted if needed when planned recordings are set

This is a potentially interesting situation...... A year from now, would Tivo be smart enough to know that it's already recorded that episode of the gadget show and I watched it when it first aired in 2011 so don't record the repeat of that episode in 2012 on Dave as a suggestion?
I hope that makes sense.

It only tracks repeated showings with 28 days, so no it wouldn't

•Box no longer displays ‘Channel not authorised’ during normal channel changes
•Customers no longer PIN challenged on watershed compliant channels
•Bookmarks supported in Movies
•Trailers now available and working for movies
•STB no longer reboots when return path is lost.
•Green button now links to catch-up content correctly
• Music playlist fixes
• Metadata improvements
• Quicker to restore TV service after reboot
• Medium description utilised in VoD screens (adds rating guidance information)
• User presented with choice of HD or SD assets in ‘Get from On Demand’ screen
• Front panel LED’s now function when box is in standby
|
This is brilliant! Thanks for this post. I was wondering if there was any way of finding out what was rolled out every time they make an update. I haven't got TiVo yet, but thinking of waiting until there have been a lot more bugs fixed. This kind of info is invaluable in deciding when the time is right to take the plunge.

Re: TiVo
Wait... who's showing the 2004 series of The Gadget Show? Would love to see the classics, they were a bit more informative than nowadays.

True, the HD activation charge looks compulsory for the V+ HD as well, but is optional for the V box (or certainly, VM's site gives you the option but for that box only).
