At the same time, the appeal of TiVo is driving strong pay TV performance. We added 242,000 more TiVo
customers during the quarter to reach a total of 677,100 at the quarter-end, which represents 18% of our
TV customer base. This already exceeds the proportion of our customers on our lowest free tier, which now
stands at 17% having fallen from 21% a year ago, as we successfully increased the number of paying TV
customers by 50,600 in the quarter.
whats wrong with box its nice and its nicer than the american version of the premier tivo and also i thinks nicer than V+ this is the box for the future

I prefer the look of the Samsung V+HD Box and the Sky+HD Box than TiVo
I've had Tivo for nearly a year and its way better than the V+ which itself wiped the floor with Sky HD.
Although to be fair the main reason I went off the V+ was because of glitches in the software making it do what it wasn't supposed to .
Tivo is great .
I don't mind paying the £3 sub for a while but I expect it to end within a couple of years because what I like about Tivo is its reliability , not the apps and wishlists and other crap that I don't really care about
Tivo is definitely better than V+ overall imo, though I wish there was a way to set a global padding for all recordings and that it didn't automatically delete episodes unless I tell it not to. The picture is better with Tivo, the box is a lot quieter and, once you get used to it, easier to use.
I also wish it working at the moment, but it's not. V+ is fine, but Tivo's having network issues and won't even let me watch what I've recorded previously.
Are you talking about the egg timer ? , if so that is badly worded.
It is telling you that if and only if the TiVo is full and needs space on the Hard drive to record new shows then the programme will be deleted to make room.

I am. I still wish it would leave recordings alone until the box is full and then just warn you like V+ does so I can choose what to delete. And I'm not sure it does wait until it needs space. My box was using about 40% a few weeks ago during a Buffy marathon, and episodes that were already on the box were being deleted automatically - I had to fish them out of the recycling.
One thing I really like about Tivo is the recommendations, which are surprising accurate to my tastes and I've found a couple of new shows to watch.
Was that for me? If it was then... A lot of the time I set recordings remotely through my phone or internet (another great feature btw) and then I forget to go to the box, find the recording and manually change the defaults. All I'm saying is, it should be the other way round - the default should be leave it til I say otherwise. Starting to wish I hadn't mentioned it now
I was looking at the On Demand and Catch-up features for the first time in a few years. I have to say I am impressed with the huge variety of content available.

Tivo will not delete your recordings unless it needs the space , even if does say "this will be deleted within 24 hours".
Or when you set a recording you can simply set the box to not delete it until you tell it to.
Your complaints are about a non existent fault although it doesn't make it clear on the planner

Except that TiVo is not a video library, it is a pvr for recording TV shows on an on-going basis. It makes perfect sense to default to deleting shows because that suits the biggest majority of users!
I've had recording for months that haven't been deleted, however if you have the default number of episodes set to 10 and you were going to record another episode from that series (if you already had 10 recorded) it would warn you and delete it, nothing to do with free space
You have to manage your TIVO box in the same way that you should manage your e-mails.
I don't understand the complaints that programmes are deleted when you run out of space. What do you expect it to do? If it didn't, your new recording requests would not be carried out.
Frankly, with 250/500 hours capacity for recordings, you can't be that interested in programmes that have been on there so long that the box deletes them!
If you don't want it to delete them, tell the box not to! But then you'll only moan when something you really wanted to record isn't on there.

As I said, I usually set recording remotely via the Android app or Virgin's website - is there a setting on those I'm missing?
It wasn't a complaint, it was my opinion on a feature I don't like.
that is what a complaint is, an expression of some sort of dissatisfaction!

The settings to change things are only on the box itself.
Setting via the website or app are not really supposed to be how you set everything .
So you were complaining then.
