Got my mini like 3 days after it came out... Had a little struggle with the setup (came on here and learned I had to have the xl4 connect, etc. and got it rolling again) and outside of one little quirk, I'm liking it... Even the PQ seems superior to the comcast box it replaced.
A few times I've been watching shows on the xl4 and paused and decided to finish watching in the bedroom on the mini. Once finished, it is unable to delete the show. It usually just sits there with the x next to it, and eventually just gives up. I've tried waiting a min or two and it didn't help
When I return to the living room the next day, I can delete it normally.
I haven't seen this behavior when I watch a show from the beginning on the mini. Anyone else experiencing this?
I don't have a Mini to test with but based on Premiere-Premiere tests, disabling the video window makes no difference. If you're using the HDUI, going to TiVo central does not release the lock. And it takes 15-20 minutes to automatically switch to live TV from TiVo Central.
Putting it in "Standby" doesn't release it either.
I keep the video window enabled since there are times I am listening to live TV while working on my computer but want to check something on the TiVo and continue listening. I don't mind having to hit "Slow" to temporarily disable it. I sorta wish that worked when viewing the guide, but I understand why it doesn't.
BTW, suggestions is the second thing I disable. The first is the annoying sound effects.
You're right. Forgot about the sound effects being the 1st thing to disable. It's annoying you can't disable that before going through guided setup...
Hitting TiVo has always worked for me to release lock on a show and save the pause point since I haven't had problems resuming MRS and deleting shows from other TiVos after doing so.

I assume you mean if you hit the TiVo button on the Mini. We were talking about hitting the TiVo button on the Premiere as opposed to simply leaving it paused.

How long after hitting the TiVo button did you delete it? IOW, are you certain that it had not timed out and gone to live TV, which would release the lock?
This whole discussion has me wondering - What happens if the same recording is being watched from multiple locations?
