Re: TiVo
BBC in backing "their" YouView platform shocker
Hardly a surprise I'd say

Re: TiVo
I must admit, I'd thought that the appearance of an iPlayer icon in the apps section would launch the current iPlayer 'big screen' interface and use the IP version over the modem. This would mean a significantly expanded selection compared to what's on the DVB-C 'on-demand' version.
But congratulations BBC. You've successfully rode a wave of positive feeling from consumers and manufacturers with iPlayer, justifiably making it a part of the TV-watching landscape. Now you're trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory - good effort!

Do you mean on the tivo or current boxes?
At present on my tvdrive i go to catch up, channels, bbc and end up with the custom UI, as opposed to another menu V+ style menu.. Is there another way of accessing this?

Re: TiVo
If you do All Days then you don't end up in the iPlayer - but then the BBC stuff is mixed in with the other channels.
Also if you are looking for BBC HD content then go into the 'HD Catch Up' menu

Ah cheers, i shall try that. I knew about the HD menu but never tried the all days menu. I recon if you know the day something was on this will probably still be way quicker than the iplayer UI, even with other channels mixed in.

The only thing missing really is "Series Catch-up" from the VOD menu. You can only access that via BBC iPlayer/red button.

Re: TiVo
I see that there is more news about the tivo box on the VM website this morning. They must be gearing up for launch.

Re: TiVo
I think it is time VM were giving us some new info. It has been about six weeks now. Very frustrating for those of us who are interested.
