Firstly, hi all. Very late joining and I hope some may remember me from tivocommunity. I was a beta tester for 2.5.5, and one of the two forum users that Gary Sargent picked to meet TiVoTed for lunch in London in early 2002. On that day I begged, literally, for radio 4 listings and we got them shortly afterwards! I also like to think I was responsible for saving us all from some of the more egregious Americanisms that almost made it unchanged into the 2.5.5 software (such as "Are you done with this program" instead of "Have you finished with this programme?")
As I only have 1 tivo I can't really beta test, but of course when the Tribune data stops I have nothing to lose.
I'm most willing to help with guide data corrections for as long as I keep my TiVo into the future.

Happy to help with that too, I've kept the full set of messages from MFS. Here they are.
