I have cognitive problems and my memory is pants wishlist was the only way I remembered to watch series as it automatically recorded them for me. This should have been highlighted before we switched. Is there anyway of reverting to the old system?
I own my TiVo box so can I revert to the old system with wishlist as it is patented to them?
You don't own the TiVo box. It belongs to VM and you only rent it.
You can't revert it to the old system because the new one is better for VM. What you want doesn't matter to them.

All VM equipment is owned by them & rented to you.
Migrationf from TiVo/V6 > TV360 are voluntary, but are also irreversible save in very extreme cases of mis-selling. Buyers remorse over some lost or differing functionality, is very unlikely to be seen in the same light.
Hi I saw your helpful reply and thought I would ask have you got a fix for no wishlist? I have memory problems and had it set for favourite actors so it would record anything I missed and new series of shows I am lost without it.
have you got a fix for no wishlist?
As per your other posts (which have now been combined into a single thread), wishlist is a TiVo-patented feature and is unique to TiVo & V6 boxes which run that recording-centric software.
TV360 runs Horizon-firmware which is in-house to VM's parent company, very online-centric and fundamentally different to TiVo.
There are many functional differences between the two software platforms, wishlist is merely one example.
Unfortunately VM won't let you revert to the old system, because the new one is better for them.
TiVo-firmware (which drives TiVo & V6) & Horizon-firmware (which drives TV360) have very different approaches. TiVo is third-party firmware licensed to VM and is very recording-centric. Horizon-firmware is in-house to VM's parent company.
VM's marketing frequently encourages conversions to TV360, and it shouldn't be a surprise that, of the many functional differences between the two platforms, only those which benefit TV360 are highlighted.
Unfortunately the wishlist function you describe, is something unique to TiVo-firmware. I would be amazed if VM accept an "I wasn't told about xyz function" argument as a reason to instigate the multitude of account-level changes needed to revert you to what they see as a legacy platform.
