Series 4 to be released soon!

After a brief bit of pondering and discussion, it becomes clear it is time for a dual tuner solution, which has the added benefit of moving the current TiVo to another room (after I address the drive situation) and using it there. I figure if I'm gonna open the wallet, make it worthwhile. TiVo H...

Find channel by name/call letters - did I just dream this?

Way back before I had an HD TiVo, I remember in one of the upgrades for Series 3/HD, they added an ability to find channels by name or by call letters instead of numbers. Maybe it was just by name (like Food or HGTV) instead of channel numbers. Or maybe I just dreamed up the whole thing.
