It isn’t a TiVo term so much as an engineering/geek term – RFE is Request For Enhancement (or Request for Feature Enhancement, same thing). Basically lists of features for future releases of a product.

It isn’t good or bad for it to be huge – just a list of ideas for new features. I started compiling mine back in 2002.

but being a geek with a huge TiVo RFE list

er, am quite new to the TiVo shorthand terminology… so what’s an RFE list? and is it a good thing for it to be huge?

*winces at asking a probable dumb question*

MY list of channels not being available as opposed to my AREA’S list of channels is the one and only reason I do not use TCO. When I want to see a list of movies coming up in the next two weeks, I just simply don’t care about the 50 zillion movies on the 5 different HBOs, 4 different Cinemaxes, 3 different Showtimes, and a melange of other channels I don’t have and couldn’t possibly care less about.

Once you accomplish that, it’s easy to do what I’ve asked for several times… the ability to transfer (via the web site was one suggestion) season passes and other prefs from one TiVo to another.

I wish they would create a “super” tivo desktop that would allow you to program your tivo from your computer, but with more advanced features such as a bar graph that would show what shows are on your to do list and allow you to rearrange recording without having to change season passes or move scheduled recording and season passes from one tivo to another just by click and drag from one list to another. I think it would be cool to also have a tivo “e-mail” system that would allow you to send suggestions and other stuff to other friends with tivos so that if you find a show that you know your friend will like you can send them a message through tivo that would give them information and let them scheduler a recording.
