Double clicks from my remote

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

For about two weeks now, many times when I click a button on the remote,
two "button pushes" get sent. For instance, in the Now Playing list, if
I right arrow on a show, I am quickly taken past the Info page, and it
starts playing. This is getting very annoying.

I think this started happening right after the new software got loaded,
and also after I changed the batteries in the remote, but I don't know
if either had anything to do with it.

Anyone else ever experience a problem like this?

Thanks,

Steve

There've been a number of complaints about this, about pixellation,
about slow menu response, and other performance issues since the 7.1
update, on the TiVo Community Forums.

Personally, I had some of them -- slow menus and double buttons chief
among them -- until the newest update (the one after 7.1a; it just came
last week), which seemed to clear everything up. Mileage seems to vary
on this, however.

I also get this.
It seems to have started when I changed from 40GB to 260GB.
I notice that it only happens when recording.
both the old disk and the new ones are 3.1.1.e on a Samsung DirecTV unit.

It's a known issue on 7.1, it happens to me too. It became less frequent when
7.1a come around, but it's still not gone.

TivoBill is asking people to post details about their Tivo and Remote here:
http/www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=2585681&&#post2585681

Hopefully, the more info they get about who is being affected, the quicker
they will be able to fix the problem.

Tivo is a poorly designed and written product.

These types of issues can be expected to occurr frequently.

Check with your cable company for a better product.

I haven't, but I don't know what brand/model TiVo you are using.
Not all TiVos are equal and exhibit the same problems.

Note that a program start from Now Playing list is different when
pressing Select versus Play on a highlighted program name.

Damn annoying troll.


TiVo is so horribly built that my Sony series 1 is only a mere 5 years
old. I guess I shouldn't hold out much hope for my 2 S2 boxes...

Why don't you run off to a Comcast NG...
