Whatever happened to this feature? This has been missing for some time, and I really wish it would come back. This makes the 30 minute live buffer much more important to me.
For example, the Today Show is 3 hours long. I normally don't have enough space left to be able to record it, nor do I really want to if I did - I'd just like to be able to rewind to something interesting if it so happened to be there. It would also be nice to know that I left my TiVo on a certain channel, forgot to setup a recording (or couldn't use the remote scheduling), and could just walk in the door, rewind, and catch my show in full at any time - wow, TV my way...hmmm...
I would just like to leave my TiVo on NBC before I go to bed, and awake with it still on NBC, and be able to rewind 30 minutes to find a segment worth watching if I desire. Instead, my TiVo, MAY or MAY NOT record some suggestion on another channel and instead leave the TiVo on that suggested channel after recording the suggestion. Funny thing is, if I am running really tight on space, it will do this all day, deleting the shows as fast as it records them.
The other thing I have been noticing lately is my TiVo attempting to record from a channel that my provider offers, yet I do not recieve and I have also BLOCKED out of my channel list - yet many times, I return to my TiVo and just see the blue "there is no signal" screen. Hmmm, I sure wish I was still on the channel I left the room on. What great fun this is when you sneak out to the bathroom for a second.
I know TiVo used to return the the original channel that I left it on, why does it not do so now???
And before the rest of you simply say to turn off suggestions, I would like to add that I do enjoy the suggestions TiVo finds for me (that is part of what I actually pay for, and I have found many shows that I never watched before but really enjoy now), I would just like the TiVo to return back to where I left it when I actually return to it. As it is, it feels like a stranger came in and was watching my TiVo when I was asleep. Just like getting into your car in the morning and finding the seat, mirror, and radio station moved along with a couple of McDonalds wrappers on the floor...
