| 885231 | 2010-05-25 23:52:00 | It's the nature of digital broadcasts, they take longer to change channel than analogue, that goes for anything not just the Tivo | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 885232 | 2010-05-25 23:58:00 | Don't know why, don't think there is a method to speed it up, however I find that changing channels using the EPG navigator quicker than the channel up/down or numeric keypad method... Log a query/complaint with TiVo Support and maybe they could look at that with the next software release... Intriguing this... I have 3 (2 UHF and 1 Satellite) tuners in our house and did some real hitech testing to establish the channel changing times on them (one higeldy pigeldy, 2 higeldy pigeldy...etc.) Tivo 4 seconds Zinwell 4 seconds And the satellite one... Hills 4 seconds Using the guide takes longer as you have lots of key presses to change channel Ken :nerd: |

| 885233 | 2010-05-26 00:02:00 | Typical manufacturers we live in a fast paced world but changing channels is so slow what a weird concept we put up with. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 885234 | 2010-05-26 00:06:00 | Quite simple, if you want quick channel changing go back to analogue. Digital is going to really piss me off in this respect.... |

| 885235 | 2010-05-26 00:25:00 | no point going back to anal logue it wont be on air much longer when 2012 comes around so we have to put up with slow channel switching in a fast paced world lol | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 885236 | 2010-05-26 00:31:00 | I never left, and I ain't leaving until I have to. I'll savour my quick channel changing as long as possible. DVB-T might be high-definition but I prefer something that doesn't turn into a pile of green blocks just because it's raining or whatever. |

| 885237 | 2010-05-26 05:09:00 | im sticking with analogue. we have sky in the lounge but the quality of sky is terrible. i can get better quality videos off my old windows 95 cd. the analogue reception in my room is perfect so i have no need to change, and i only really ever watch Prime. Prime has all the good stuff. prime show newer episodes of mythbusters than discovery channel | goodiesguy (15316) | ||

However digital freeview is HD, as long as it is via UHF, and you notice a HUGE difference in quality. |

I've never had that issue, maybe you need a better aerial? :confused: The slow channel switching annoyed me when I first got Tivo (I'm sure they could speed it up with faster hardware) but I came to the realisation a few months back that I hardly ever watch live TV so it isn't that much of an issue for me. I time shift the news when I get home and pretty much record everything else. |
