Thanks for the reply - happy that Skippa will wake up and record

Next Question - or gripe?

The pause play seems to be one button and you press the top for pause and the bottom for play


On my remote I can pause easily but when I try to play again it doesn't work very well at all - at first I thought I was doing something wrong but then it worked - once!

In playing around I can get it to play about 1 in every 10 or so presses - am I holding my tongue wrong? or is this "toggle" key somehow not working (similar to other people saying the keys get "stuck") and not able to work the contact?
Beats me why they used a "toggle" button and not just 2 buttons (or one button that pauses on first press and plays on the next etc....)

1 - Skippa has a power button - on and standby - Tivo didn't and was always on - If I put Skippa into standby will it still record or is standby a mode you only use when you don't want anything to record? (this is what I assume but couldn't see any explanation in manual)

2 - Tivo had a button to switch between tuners - handy if you are recording on both and just want to jump back and forth - or as an easy way to flick between 2 shows - say footy and cricket with just one button press - does Skippa have this function (can't find a button to swap the tuner you are viewing)

Hey Doo,

1 - Yes SKIPPA will record in stand-by and continue to update the guide and the timer list, it will automatically wake to record shows as they are broadcast.

2 - There is no direct way to swap the tuner you are viewing, SKIPPA handles all Tuner assignment automatically, at the moment there is no shortcut button to bounce between two shows at the same time.

Hi All

Skippa all set up and working (no issues so far) and now learning how to drive it - 2 immediate questions

Changing from Tivo so questions are based on this:

1 - Skippa has a power button - on and standby - Tivo didn't and was always on - If I put Skippa into standby will it still record or is standby a mode you only use when you don't want anything to record? (this is what I assume but couldn't see any explanation in manual)

2 - Tivo had a button to switch between tuners - handy if you are recording on both and just want to jump back and forth - or as an easy way to flick between 2 shows - say footy and cricket with just one button press - does Skippa have this function (can't find a button to swap the tuner you are viewing)

Thanks!

Patiently waiting but concerned...
the email says:

"Due to greater than expected demand for SKIPPA pre-orders, delivery of the initial production run has been delayed. We now anticipate that we will begin fulfilling orders in mid-August.
We apologise sincerely and are working hard to deliver pre-orders as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we have extended our pre-order offer."

I thought the pre-order was a special deal for the first 1000 - so how can it be over subscribed? Shouldn't pre-orders stop once 1000 is reached and they are made and delivered as promised - and then further orders are just "normal" orders.

The fact that they have extended the pre-order may actually mean that at the moment they have not received 1000 orders and are stalling to try and get more orders so they can then build and deliver the first 1000.

All conjecture I know - my main gripe is the lack of creditable information explaining what is happening - I know their email is an attempt at explaining it but it just doesn't ring true (with me)

Will Skippa be added to universal remote device lists - e.g Harmony?
