The CMA Awards?

Ellen's show?

Passions?

BEACHES?!?!!?

I think taste is more important than an undelete function for that person.]]>Jan 25th 2006 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 25th 2006 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/

It's nice to see they will add it to the UI.

Don't forget to wait.

When undelete is available, there's no longer any need to ask for confirmation. And the risk of losing data when one accidently hits the "clear" button on a folder/group is monumentally lower -- so offer that, too.

Nice unit, but deleting content is more effort than it could be. :)]]>Jan 25th 2006 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 25th 2006 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 25th 2006 5:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 25th 2006 6:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 25th 2006 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/
If it's so hard to delete a show -- and my S1 doesn't really make it seem a burden -- why does anyone need an undelete?

I've had my Tivo just about five years now, and I don't think I've ever deleted anything accidentally. Who are the people who need this?

As noted in a couple of replies here, the Tivo itself deletes shows only when it needs the room, so anything it deletes is probably going to be overwritten anyway. This new feature is strictly to undo user deletions, but ... well, I just don't get it.

I do note that I have plenty of programming on my Tivo, including the '04 and '05 World Series, on Save Until I Delete status. With an upgraded system (50 hours at best, 150 at basic quality), it's no big deal; I can still keep about two weeks of fresh programming while I wait to move the SUID'd shows over to burn to DVD.

So if you don't want something deleted, there's been a way to do that since Series 1.

I apologize if this seems to be a troll; it's a genuine question. I just don't see the workflow that creates the problem.]]>Jan 25th 2006 10:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 25th 2006 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 26th 2006 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/
Yes, you are being a bit trollish.

Try to imagine what it's like when you only have a single, 30 hour TiVo; you get in the habit of deleting a show after you watch it because harddrive space is at a premium; this was especially useful to do before there were folders, because when you have a full harddrive, going through a completely full Now Playing list is tedious. It's much easier to simply delete a show after you have watched it.

Then the deletign of the watched show becomes an automatic habit, and the situation eventually comes along when you have a show you intended to save for some reason (for instance, to burn it to DVD - so in answer to the other person earlier in this thread I have to point out: what do you do if the show is deleted before you get a chance to burn it to DVD?) and out of habit you delete the show after you watch it, forgetting that you needed to save it. Ooops!

Or maybe you have a roommate, wife, girlfriend, children, etc., and they delete it before you had a chance to watch it, etc.

Hence, the need for "undelete" (remember, most of us don't want to go to the trouble of "hacking" our TiVo boxes to get these extra features).

Of course, once I had folders, larger harddrives, and multiple TiVos, I got out of the habit of deleting shows after I watched them - but I only did so because there was no undelete feature.

I might start deleting them again if we get this undelete feature, because sometimes it is nice to clean up already watched shows and allow space for Suggestions and the like.

If I know I have a grace period before a deleted show is truly gone, I'll be less afraid of deleting a show.]]>Jan 26th 2006 1:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 26th 2006 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Jan 26th 2006 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/25/tivo-undelete-forthcoming/Feb 1st 2006 2:20AM
