Duplicate data in guide

[lynfran]

I've had my TiVo for 5 or so days and for the most part I'm impressed. NOT, however impressed by the TV Guide.
The guide was the main reason I got an upgraded machine. Now I've missed the whole first episode of a new season of a favourite program.
If you need help with data entry, let me know because I am more than happy to volunteer.

Also, NOT impressed that "fast forward to end/beginning" has been removed as an option. I can't imagine who thought that was a great idea.
Now it takes ages to scroll through areas I just don't need to watch.

It should come right. We have had ours operating after the upgrade for nearly a year now. I can't say that I am anything but impressed. Its been working well without any issues, these issues this week are probably the worst I have experienced. The volunteers do a good job.

To get fast forward to end, use FF >> (so it is playing FFx1, FFx2 or FFx3) then the skip >| button while fast forwarding.
To get fast forward to beginning, use Rew << (so it is playing Rewx2, Rewx2 or Rewx3) then the skip >| button while rewinding.
As you have probably noticed if you are just playing at normal speed, the skip >| button will jump forward 30 seconds. Which some people find useful if they are watching commercial television (previously recorded or on delay).
I found it didn't take me long to adjust to pressing FF or Rew first before Skip if I wanted to skip-to-end.

If you happen to be in Australia and are interested in helping with guide data, please let me know what geographical area you are in.
But that seems a long shot given the forum we are in, sorry but I can't help with NZ guide data.

Thanks for that.. had no idea of this functionality.

I should be easy enough to set it back to the old functionality. It's just a single byte changed in the tivoapp program...
