OK so here goes ..
We HAD 2 V6 boxes and 1 Tivo - all could access each others stuff as they were networked IF we wanted to. However if you were 'on' a box, it showed just it's recordings unless you chose another box in the menu. This was perfect as Mum recorded her stuff on one box, we had another, and there was a 'shared' one in the living room.
This week we had the 360 'upgrade' - lost the Tivo for a mini box with no hard drive (pretty sure that's a 'downgrade' but there you go) and gained the fancy voice remotes.
I set us all a profile up, assuming that would not only personalise the suggestions etc, but also split up the recordings. To my horror everything my Mum records (and there is some right old tosh!) appear in the other profiles 'Saved' tab... this is a massive retrograde step. I can't find any way to separate the recordings, and already it's beginning to be a real mess. My Mum is 83, and I can tell she is goign to get REALLY confused and also start deleting things I have recorded (that before she could only do if she managed to weave her way through the menus to my box!!).
How on earth can we separate the recordings up, and if we can't I am REALLY unhappy with how things now are. It is definitely a BACKWARDS step. The point of a profile is surely to link stuff to it? You don't seem to have any control of 'where' the mini box holds its files - I assume it just chooses randomly one of the other boxes - but there must be something that tells the system which profile is recording which program.. otherwise what's the point of the profiles? Other than to delivery mediocre suggestions?
