TIVO BOLT VOX YOUTUBE MOVIE

That’s TiVo’s cue to direct you to get the full movie online from the likes of Netflix, Vudu, or Amazon. When you switch to a channel where a movie is in progress, you’re prompted to press the A button to start over. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the ESPN app on Apple TV, but I was disappointed that I didn’t see live action playing in those panels instead of canned graphics. One thing TiVo isn’t taking advantage of, in the case of the Tuners Panel, is live video. In either QuickView option, what you’re currently watching occupies most of the screen. Similarly, you press the left arrow to bring up QuickView’s Favorite Channels Panel along the left side of the screen, to see what’s currently on channels you’ve designated as favorites. They’re arranged vertically along the right side of the screen, making it easy to select one if you’re bored with what you’re watching and want to take advantage of each tuner’s buffer to go back to an earlier point in the program. While watching a show, you simply press the right arrow to bring up a Tuners Panel, showing graphic titles of what’s currently feeding each of TiVo’s other tuners. This will show upcoming programs on the current channel, and you can then use the up or down arrow to move the focus through other channels.Īlready in place is a handy feature called QuickView.

Recognizing the resulting usability gap, TiVo was planning to update the interface in February with a new one-line guide launched by pressing the up arrow during live TV. The vertical listings of upcoming programs from a particular channel are gone, replaced by a traditional matrix that requires lots of scrolling to the right to see what’s on later. If you choose Delete and Bookmark, the program will be recorded again, and you’ll be reminded that it lingers on an online service. And speaking of Delete, it’s no longer an all-or-nothing option. I felt as though it got in the way of me finding content I had recorded or wanted to record.Īlso, menus have been moved, with choices like Play, Start Over, and Delete-which you expect to see arranged vertically-now laid across a horizontal, overhead bar. The resulting visual clutter suggests a restaurant menu where customers place an order by pointing rather than reading.

I wasn’t enamored with SmartBar, TiVo’s row of predictions (in the form of movie and TV posters) appearing at the bottom of the TiVo central screen.

Similar movies or series you might like get their own posters each cast member, a beauty shot. Viewers upgrading from the previous TiVo interface will be immediately struck by an enlarged program-in-progress picture (after pressing the TiVo home button) and a swarm of poster art that substitutes for bare titles. TiVo describes it as delivering “spot-on personalized program predictions influenced by actual viewing habits.” The addition of voice input can’t be discussed without also talking about the radically redesigned system of onscreen menus and prompts-the New Experience. So, seeing the Skip button finally appearing, along with having the entire commercial set book-ended for each block, represents something of a milestone. Finally, a 30-second quick skip button was implemented that lasted even if your TiVo unit lost power, and TiVo referenced it in the manual. Unfortunately, if your TiVo lost power, you had to reprogram the remote all over again.

Having the dedicated Skip control represents a long about-face by TiVo, which initially only supported tape-like fast forwarding, then depended on independent web user groups to provide instructions on how to activate a buried 30-second quick-skip feature. You press Skip (or D), and the program instantly resumes where the commercial block ends. You’ll hear a tone sound as soon as the commercials begin. This functions similarly to the “D” button on the previous Bolt remote, and allows the skipping of an entire block of commercials for shows recorded from the top 20 most-watched channels that are recorded during prime time. The surprise addition of the dedicated green Skip button brings up a bit of TiVo history.
