Title: Message
It
probably did.... but there were two problems....
1. I
was sound asleep as it was 8am on Saturday morning
2.
Amber was in her bedroom watching the output of the digibox NOT the output
of
TiVo so didnt even see the message.
The
auto change also got me the other day.... was listening to Satellite radio
so
not even looking at a screen and it changed to record something. Its just a
case
of getting used to a whole new way of watching TV.
Once
it knows more of our likes and dislikes and we have got used to using it
properly (only installed it on Thursday as we were on holiday when I bought
it )
then I will probably re-enable the auto recording of
suggestions.
Having
said that, I like the feature of being able to see upcoming episodes and
have
used it for Scrapheap Challenge to schedule a recoding for 5am. No danger
of a
conflict but there was no way I would have manually recorded it on the
Video as
I dont look at the schedules for the wee hours.
Sharon
is well happy as it has season passes for Eastenders, Home & Away, and
Neighbours. She has also selected stuff to record by herself instead of the
old
method of her circling stuff in the TV times and as she goes out in the
evening
saying "there is some taping to be done". Normally that occurs as I arrive
home
>from
video correctly with Amber trying to get my atention at the same time led
to
errors on more than one occasion. Tivo should solve that problem nicely.
Also
saves trying to find which tape it was recorded on.
As I
said.... 3 Green Thumbs from me :-)

I have temporarily disabled auto recording of
Tivo Suggestions after it failed KWMBO approval (Kid Who Must Be Obeyed).
Tivo decided to record a program about Napoleon (which I wouldnt have
wanted
anyway) and changed the Digibox off CBeebies.
<<The TiVo
would have given you the option of staying on channel or changing it
for the recording ... if you don't say anything then it will
change.>>
