The
best fix for this would be for the TV companies to run to their schedules
....
sports events I can understand overrunning (much as I hate it when they do)
but
normal programming should not. TiVo are
attempting to resolve the issue by allowing a kind of pre-roll and
post-roll
function to be added to all timed events with version 2.5.n of the
software.
As for
the subscription ... my usual thought is that for £200 a lifetime sub
is the better deal given that you would expect a TiVo to last more
than 20
months - especially since the subscription is retained when you change the
drives as the serial number is held in hardware. TiVo should allow the
subscription to be transferred from box to box to allow for a unit
dying
but it seems that they don't.
The
problem at the moment is that the discussion on the user groups has
started
to turn to questioning the continued existence of TiVo in the UK and hence
the
monthly subscription is safest for now ... I would like to think that if
they
did go titsup.com over here then some enterprising programmer would find a
way
to import digiguide EPG data into the TiVos scheduler.

This sounds like an unbelievably basic problem
and one which would spoil the experience rather a lot. Seems
incredible
they haven't got a fix for this yet - how long has TiVo been out in the UK
- a
year?
Does this problem effect the Sky Plus box
too?
Thanks
