    Recently, every time I delete a show, the Now Playing list goes kerflooey. Instead of showing me the individual shows within a folder, it shows the Now Playing folder list again! When I finally back out to the home screen, the folder display resets itself - i.e., the folders now show the list...
  2. TiVo Roamio DVRs
    TiVo Roamio Hard Drive Upgrade, PART 1 While there have been other threads on this, I wanted to post a new one from the perspective of someone who is a klutz about such stuff. I also report on several key tips - including restoring a real 30-second JUMP - that were either missing or buried in...

    1. Let us, please, oh, let us, turn OFF the display of the time -- in Now Playing, TivoCentral, and elsewhere. We don't need to be nor want to be reminded of what time it is when we're watching via TiVo! 2. Give us the option to HIDE the Discovery Window! We'd much rather see a long list of...

    We've been using a Roamio OTA for a couple of years now. Our series 2 Tivo has been sitting unused in the basement (lifetime service on it). We have a digital converter box and antenna for it. We've now gotten into watching old sitcoms (in SD) via the Roamio. Is there a way for us to...
  5. TiVo Suggestion Avenue
    OK, so we are late to the Roamio party...but the interface is far too busy and even illogical! What follows are suggestions for improvement--from big issues to small nit-picks. 1. First, and foremost, we should be able to turn off the Discovery Bar *entirely*. Even when we uncheck all choices...

    Viewing this site on an iPad... I now see banner pop up ads! They span the entire bottom of the screen. Scroll down and they block the view and hang around--and around. Adding insult to injury, the close box is a tiny X which is hard to hit; even if one succeeds, one often ends up tapping the...

    I've been reading with interest the various threads around here pertaining to MOCA (media over cable). What I keep missing, though, is any discussion of how one could control a device remotely. Shouldn't that be possible? In other words, if you have a TiVo in one room of the house, is there a...
  8. TiVo Premiere DVRs
    From what I've read, the 30-second skip feature, which I love to use on our Series 2, has gone the way of the dinosaurs. What's been people's experience in transitioning from one to the other? I'm one of those people who values clever GUIs and gets irritated by pet features being dropped. I...
  9. TiVo Premiere DVRs
    DVR Upgrade sells new Tivo Premiere with internal 1.5 TB hard drive, meaning 236 hours of HD recording. For $250. (AFAICT, they are new with internal HD.) OTOH, BH Photo sells Tivo Premiere XL with 150 hours. For $213. Vann's sells it for $200. Is the larger recording space worth the...

    Was wondering if all Tivos with dual tuners can record two over the air stations at the same time? Perhaps, more specifically, I'm wondering whether the Tivo HDs and Tivo Premiers can?

    I'm way in over my head technically on all this stuff, but was trying to figure out which of the newer Tivos would work with our cable arrangement. We're on basic cable, which is only analog. I'm assuming that all the programming is SD, too. We're currently using Series 2 Tivos (great...

    We're doing a home energy audit and discovered to our shock that our two Tivos were consuming more power than anything else in our house, including our furnace! They are two Series 2 DVD units (Humax and Toshiba) and both draw 60 watts! That's equivalent to a 120w light bulb running 24-7...
  13. TiVo Home Media Features & TiVoToGo
    We have a Humax DVD-Tivo unit. Months ago, we archived a bunch of Frasier episodes by burning them onto DVDs. Now that we have room on the Humax Tivo, we'd like to transfer those shows back to the Tivo. I tried transferring, via PyTivo, one of the shows, which works fine; we get picture, but...
  14. DVD TiVo Units (Archive)
    If I record several episodes of a show on 1 DVD, can I then record them again on another? Here's the reason for the question and the background detail for the scientific methodologists among you. We have been running into probs burning shows onto a no-brand name set of DVD-RWs. When that...
  15. DVD TiVo Units (Archive)
    We have two of those Tivo DVD burning units (Humax and Toshiba). I archived a bunch of Frasier shows onto a DVD. It'd be real convenient (now that there's space on our Tivo) to transfer the shows back to the Tivo. (We want other DVDs in the DVD portion of the Tivo.) Is there an easy way of...
