Tivo Genie issues

[JustinD]

Does anyone else use "tivo genie" online? I do while at work and it seems to have "technical errors" about 50% of the time, which is really annoying. Does anyone else experience this and have any insight?

I don't use it, but there was a big upgrade to Genie over the weekend.

Is this problem since then or before?

Problem is both before and after. The "upgrade" seems to more illusionary than real. Its really frustrating and makes the service even more annoying.

Truthfully, other than the vastly improved picture quality (even with a std def. screen) compared to the Tivo Series 1 with s-video, TivoHD service really struggles in performing its basis service of ease of setting up recording. Also, its suggestions somehow seem not "as clever" as the original unit. Sorry, my rant at all the wasted opportunities under 7/Hybrid. Just seems to be trending towards the mean at the moment.

I agree with you.
