Some things take longer then a day to rollout Itshim but believe you me the BBC red button on the Tivo will be a step change from the old BBC red button which was on the old boxes.

There's a good reason for that; they're not necessary.

No... more like:

"Tivo - Created by people who prefer watching what they want when they want; and saving 15 mins per hour by skipping ads."

To be honest I would settle for the old Red button, but as long as it works from the off I will be happy

But TiVo doesn't change channel at the start of a scheduled recording Carl, and you're fully aware of this as we've had this discussion before. You're also fully aware of why some of us want reminders in addition to what's currently available and yet every time someone mentions reminders you "conveniently" forget every discussion on the subject and post your "I don't understand why people want reminders" spiel again.

Is this what you are basing it on.Virgin media Tivo help & support:-

More good news! We’ve been working with the BBC to launch Red Button services on TiVo and we’re hoping to start the roll out*in April. This service will launch a menu over BBC channels.
* PR speak for "coming soon" note the word HOPING

Re: Tivo Hidden features that suck!

I've had a Tivo installed since December and can say in all honesty that in my opinion Tivo has only feature that sucks, and that is the lack of a dynamic EPG. The fact that we pay a premium for the EPG metadata makes it unbelieveable that this has not become a dynamic EPG!
