So I just returned to the TiVo (Roamio Plus) from being several years away using a WMC setup. WMC was getting especially glitchy lately, and so far I love the reliability of TiVo again. I find the UI and remote to be cluttered and unnecessarily complicated, though, and this is especially an issue for my wife.
My wife is actually the one who controls most of our TV watching (80%+ of the shows being recorded are hers). So after being away on a business trip for a week, she comes back and wants to watch some of the new episodes that were recorded. On WMC, you could easily sort recordings by either:
a) Date recorded (un-grouped by TV show name), or
b) Title (which essentially groups them inside a "folder" and then, inside that folder, you can sort by recorded date or original air date).
The TiVo can seemingly match this functionality, but it's not working right and has caused my wife to declare that she "hates it" and wants WMC back. Let me explain what I've done and what I'm seeing: So for most/all of the shows, I set up a OnePass and set it up for 3-5 episodes, New & Repeats, and I include streaming options. I set it to "New & Repeats" because I had just gotten the TiVo and I wanted it to try to grab last week's episode of a show if it re-aired. But I'm thinking that this setting might be part of my problem.
So let me explain what's wrong: My wife goes to the 'My Shows' list sorted by date and it shows at the top, "The Middle" with a New icon and a date indicating Friday, 3/6. Two problems:
1) When we drill into it, the newest episode was from Wednesday, 3/4.
2) We already watched it (in its entirety) on the TiVo.
So there's a big problem here: My wife wants to know if something new recorded and the TiVo is giving bad info on the top-level screen.
