People with Tivo Boxes and Humax boxes - what has been your experience with moving between Wish List entries?
I have a serious problem with long time that it takes my Humax Tivo DVD burner move between screens in Tivo Central. I have several Wish Lists - movies e.g. I click on the wish list for the category (it takes 30-50 seconds to come up with the list of the movies - 150-190 normally) I then select a movie and go into "View upcoming shows", chose the one I want, schedule it and then go back to the movie - this takes 45-90 seconds. I then go back to the Wish List and it can also take 45-90 seconds. Often times when I am back into the Wish list the remote is not placed on the movie that I have just scheduled but throws me either up or down the Wish List 2-3 screens and I have to go and search for the last movie I've gone into. I called Humax first, they told me they are aware of a remote control problem that lags behind several seconds - I've seen this on my Dish when I watch Live TV, the channel blinks when you click up or down or type in the channel, nothing happens for a second or so and then in 1-2 seconds the channel switches. I did not pay too much attention to it as they told me what I am describing is Tivo software problem. Called Tivo and they told me that Humax harddrives have a record of slow responses just like what I have described to them. Called Humax again and they went on a defensive that this is not Humax problem and went into the remote control spiel with me that they are working with Tivo on it to resolve it - same thing that I heard from them before. When I told them that the screen in Tivo central hangs up with "Please Wait" for like 40-90 seconds I think it finally caught up with the lady. She recommended reprogramming the remote, did not work and now sending me a new remote. However, I had a feeling she would not admit that it's the hard drive problem and accessing the large amount of data and multiple schedules that Tivo downloads. I think it is because before I only had antenna and 8 channels and very few options for each show on regular local TV, now I have satellite and there are like 60 channels with multiple time slots for each show and Tivo downloads programming for more channels and the processor and hard drive are having hard time accessing it. I have deleted some channels I don't watch from the channel line up, so this is going to be easier on the download and space required but still the problem persist. Is this something that only my Humax Box has or it's something known? This is kind of crazy as it takes a very long time to program what I want to watch. I'd expect 1-3 seconds delay with the remote, no problem, but this is something too long? To go though the Wish List sometimes takes 20-30 min. Any suggestions besides replacing it? - it's only 4 months old. Sincerely, IGGY ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> AIDS in India: A "lurking bomb."
