Hi does anyone else have subtitles totally out of sync on their TiVo on TV3? They are out of sync by minutes. Doesn't seem to happen on TV1/TV2? Has been happening for a long time now and I have put up with it but now wanting a solution of possible.

Conspiracy alarm: TiVo seems to be riddled with problems at the moment. I wonder if they are trying to annoy the last remaining users so they will dump it and then Spark can finally pull the pin? Just saying...

Either way days are numbered. My subs are out too.

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

I packed up my TiVo In a box and it's in a storage locker in the garage, sadly it's time is up. A great device poorly implemented and poorly managed in New Zealand.

Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

I will be squeezing every last drop out of ours. It's an amazing technology and STILL runs circles around any comparable Freeview HD recording device. In fact the range of MyFreeview devices is pathetic. In my ideal world if a new unit was released which was Freeview Plus compatible and possibly also had Netflix installed it would be a very desirable box.

Comparing ours to what TiVo options are currently available in the US are not only tear jerking but are amazing at the same time. SIX tuners is a great idea, sure you probably won't be actively recording on all of them but it only takes recording a couple of programmes one after the other and one other to get overlapping and recordings get cropped.

In the US they appear to also support third party pay-TV operators with both cable and satellite capabilities. Imagine if Sky and all the other streaming operators got on board, one set top box for EVERYTHING. Not a box for Sky, an Apple TV for Netflix, a tablet or laptop somehow connected for Lightbox. There are only so many HDMI ports a TV comes with...

That said I appreciate what we have and everything Hybrid does to keep it alive. Thanks Dan and your team!

What is the next best recoding device in NZ after TiVo?
