Hi all,
I've been letting my TiVo "bed in" past it's latest update to 3 tuners, and on the whole I'm happy.
However I do have some gripes with my TiVo. So far it's crashed on me twice with a circle image spinning round just by pressing the "My Shows" button. Also I missed the Royal Wedding, for some reason (I still havn't figured out why) my TiVo stopped recording about 1 hour 30 minutes into the coverage.
I can forgive a single blip in recording, but the hanging at the circle annoys me the most, once I had to take the power lead out of the back of the box (I wasn't happy to do this, I could hear the hard drive heads crash when I did it) and the other time I decided to leave it, which it eventually clicked back in (not to the My Shows screen though) to the main menu.

Rumoured £90 TiVo on the way!?
Commenter Square Eyes has posted on a fellow TiVo blog that it's believed a cheaper TiVo with 500GB hard drive is in the pipeline from Virgin Media, for £49.99 plus £40 installation.
If true, this may anger the existing 1TB TiVo owners, but give the revolutionary interface of the TiVo more market share.
This would be a great sales move from Virgin Media, the fanatics would have paid any price, and were happy enough with the £149+ on offer for original S1 TiVo owners. This new price point will attract a wider audience and the hype has already been generated from the existing user base.
This rumour comes about as Virgin Media have had their parent company's CEO Richard Branson comment on the TiVo as a "weapon" against Sky.

UK TiVo S1 service ends on 1st June 2011
The day has unfortunately arrived where the service for the Series 1 TiVo will end.
This has been confirmed by my trusted friends on the TiVo Community forum by current S1 owners receiving a system message to tell them as such.

Options when recording a live show on the UK TiVo
Questions I was asked on Cable Forum included how TiVo copes by not having a dynamic EPG when it comes to "live" programs.
I stumbled across my first example of this today (stumbled because I didn't expect a sports chat show to be classed the same type of "live" broadcast as a football match) so thought I'd share how Virgin Media TV Powered by TiVo behaves and what options it offers.
