New to TiVo - it's ok, but has some major annoyances. On V+, I used to avoid clashes by finding repeats on alternative days for series links.
It would appear this simple task is beyond the "mighty" TiVo... I can either record NEW only (which will ignore the repeat, obviously) or "NEW and RERUNS". I want the repeats only, and on a specific channel and at a set time, not all repeats at any time. V+ could do this perfectly just by making a series link on the right programme. If I try this on TiVo I get every single repeat.
Am I missing something? Thursdays are the busiest days in our recording schedule and clashes are a problem even with 3 tuners (let's not get into the padding problem that makes this worse here), so I try to record a few shows a couple of days later, but I can only do this on TiVo by setting manual recordings! Unimpressive!
Also, how do I tell what shows have been watched in the list of recordings without going into them to read the description? Surely an icon showing the status isn't hard to implement? The V+ "Viewed", "Part Viewed" and "
In "recording hiccups", it is 90% a list of things I didn't want anyway. Surely it should only show things that actually failed? It currently shows the programmes not being recording because my series links are "NEW" only - this list shows all the repeats. How are they hiccups? I makes finding genuine ones impossible.
If it weren't for the extra space I'd be going back to V+. Please get this sorted VM!
