Re: RE: Fw: (ukha_d) TiVo - issues !

["Ian Davidson" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

My Tivo was faulty. I bought it on the Tuesday, rang tivo Wednesday
morning
who confirmed it was faulty. Then rang Powerhouse who said they would try
to
get one for Friday but would ring me to confirm. Driving home from work
Wednesday powerhouse rang my mobile to say a replacement was awaiting
my
collection at the shop. Swapped it over that night and no more
problems.

(well one ! found the IR code for the Sky box yep worked fine. Came to
show
SWMBO how it had got her program on living channel (112) to find it had
recorded sky one ! The IR was to fast and did not work with two of the
same
number. Slowed it down now fine and SWMBO as now accepted the benefits
of
tivo, close one though!)
