Tim Templeton Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I still have it on Sky+. I send a copy to the New Zealand Veterans for them to pass round, but I don't delete until I know that the DVD has arrived. If you've not been sorted elsewhere, give me a ring at 01202 715387, or 07967 963 084, and I'll run a copy off. No charge, happy to help. Tim.

manchesterpaul Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) It's always worth trying to find out when the repeat is scheduled to run and Sky+ that too. That way if there is a one hour delay in starting the meeting or during it (or more think of the World Cup in recent years) you'll get to see the whole meeting with the 'rain watching' intermission edited out. I know a lot of people will always set the speedway with the manually record option and add a little bit extra. You can't always record the next programme as they suggest in case that is an event that is scheduled to go on for hours. Many speedway meetings have overrun by a shocking amount of time due to weather. The same happens with Nascar racing on another channel. I think we get away with murder on the Sky platform at times, possibly our sport has intruded on the schedule of others a lot more than the other way around.

Gemini Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Am I right in thinking there is no way to record a DVD from the Virgin Media TiVo box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Am I right in thinking there is no way to record a DVD from the Virgin Media TiVo box? Sometimes people omit the '+' which IS a biggie, so i have to ask are you talking about a Virgin+ or as you have typed it a basic version? If it is the +, yes you can. All is not lost if it isn't, you can use a workaround that is similar to how i've recorded to DVD off several non-recordable devices. I Googled for you and came up with this thread http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/TiVo/Recording-from-Tivo-to-DVD/td-p/634211 I personally have never used a VIrgin media appliance or a TiVO so can't guide you step-by-step. However, the instructions in the above aren't at al as complicated as may first read. Also, once you've done it once it will take seconds from then on, it's only a matter of switching the output leads and possibly channel switching on your remote. Again not having ever seen a TiVo or Virgin receiver i can't coment on possibly even simpler workarounds that may be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 OMG! Arson you that gullible and you so must fall for the 'you are my first' from the ladies too lol How'd you know I like ladies? Xx;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 How'd you know I like ladies? Xx;) Errrrm Ummmm now i am confused. I had presumed you were a man because of the picture (which i've not actually studied in close-up) coupling that with knowing that Ladies don't fart either silently or with flames lol. It 11pm i've done my duty and updated the league tables and am off for a Saturday night out on the town. So i'll leave aside figuring out if it's a man or woman in the picture, and if you are a man who doesn't like ladies or a lady who likes ladies, all of which is 100% your business anyway lol. So i'll stop wondering here on in. OMG let me at my first drink of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 ....manchesterpaul.....Sometimes people omit the '+' which IS a biggie, so i have to ask are you talking about a Virgin+ or as you have typed it a basic version? Ah....you've got me puzzled now. As far as I can make out it's the basic TiVo box and to watch anything on Sky it has to be through this, whereas before I could pick up Sky on a channel on the T.V. Everything is recorded direct onto this box as it has a hard drive. Thanks for trying to help and I will look at that website tomorrow as it is too late now for anything other than very simple instructions.
