TiVo Live Guide

If you're used to a grid-style guide, TiVo's Live Guide can take some adjustment. I prefer it because it gives you a better view as to what's coming on a station throughout the day. It particularly comes in handy for sports such as college football or basketball where there might be several games being played throughout the day as it lets you quickly scan the schedule without changing screens. TiVo does a fantastic job of putting a lot of information on screen without making the interface cluttered or confusing.

Looks can be deceiving. Frozen screenshots may look nice but a video of how sluggish is the HD interface tells the whole story.

I'll post a video sample to show the interface, but since the last update, it's really not sluggish. It might take 1 or 2 seconds to populate some screens, but it's much better than it was.

so basically they're taking parts of the iOS app interface, upgrading it, and using it in a redesigned box interface...gotta say they nailed it with this...i hate the interface and guide i currently have and always use my iOS devices to control my TiVo...probably still will anyway, but it'll be nice to have a similar set up on the box!

Yep. And if you want the fastest TiVo experience, the apps for iOS and Android are the way to go.
