It is also annoying that you cannot always rely on the TIVO to find another programme.
It should if there's another showing available. Try a specific wishlist rather than a SL if some shows are repeated on a different channel in the same week (like the soaps, for example.)

Channel 5+24 starts at the beginning of next month.
My Digiguide has just added this channel. It claims it will be on channel 152.

Yes, it will find another showing of the programme on the channel, but it never tells you the revised time it is being shown. So I like to check that it has done so, and this can take rather a long time sometimes. Only a minor irritation, though, I love my TIVO box.

yes it is but they are ditching Channel 5*+1 so you win and lose all at the same time + Channel 5+24 may have restricted hours.

May? It's only broadcasting from 7pm to 12am. That's restricted.

5+24 will be on VM and Sky 24/7 - but in loops of programming.

Think you should read the articles it suggests 5 will only be showing programming between 7pm and the early hours with the rest being teleshopping.

There are two versions of channel 5 +24. One for cable and satellite and another for Freeview (which shows less programmes and more Teleshopping).

This is a disaster. The channel is not shown in the TV magazines, and so the programming will not be known to most people. I think Channel 5 will be very disappointed with the small number of viewers who will be watching this channel. They would have been better leaving it as it was.

Of course it is, just look at last nights page!

As it is, tv magazines only sell to about 3m people so most people don't read them.

Yes, you have a point, but because it is not obvious what programmes will be on there (ie, it's not the same programmes as the main channel, but an hour before), I think people will ignore this channel apart from the channel hoppers who just happen to land on the channel.

Those who record everything (like me!) might find it useful for extreme clash-avoidance

...except that TiVo is so good at managing clashes using the correct channel without having to have to manually revert to using +1 or +24 channels.

TiVo sorts out my logjam of 8 (yes, eight) programs at 9pm on a Monday.

True, but thought it worth mentioning as there may be times when three tuners are simply not enough

Actually this is true.

I often wish I could record as many as five shows at once and I often have to record +1s or repeat showings due to having all three tuners in service at once.

I live with my parents (as they are in poor health) and I'm often recording stuff for them as well as myself and it isn't unusual for us to all want to see a different show on the main TV at once or for there to be overlaps.

Yeah, it's not unusual for me to need 4 or even more.

Same here lol Monday there are 6 recordings that are on at the same time, luckily TiVo re-arranges the recordings a bit so for example instead of recording The Walking Dead at 9pm it'll record the episode at 12am instead.

If you set them as series link it will always/auto find the 4th at the next showing. I have 4 series links set to record Wed Night 9pm, as the fourth is not recorded at 9 it records the next time its on - 1pm

How do you get that to work? I get a message that says it will clip the recording of another programme, so I need to manually record on a +1 channel to avoid this.

It only does that if the program is not repeated in next 7 days, unfortunaly it does not think about the +1 channels.
