Re: What to expect from your Virgin Media TiVo 15.2 Upgrade
Some interesting responses... I'd like to go back and edit the original post but due to the way this forum is set up the edit option isn't there any more.
I did some more tinkering with the USB keyboard feature, and found the following. POSITIVE CHANGES

Cool. USB keyboard does work. Makes YouTube searching so much easier. :) Now just need full internet access ;)

A browser on the TiVo? That would be great, although USB mouse support would need to be added. Can't imagine it'd be impossible though: after all, it already has Flash support and a fairly powerful system-on-chip processor. Perhaps in a year or so, if the apps idea really takes off!

It's a lot quicker and one of the best updates is that when you have set a recording as a series link as we do but you happen to be watching the channel live, it used to go blank for about 2 seconds and you lost that audio and missed that part of the programme.
Now instead, it flickers a bit, but you can hear the audio and it's much smoother and no black screen for ages. It still does that stupid thing where you push my shows and it takes you there, then goes off and re loads the screen. But on the whole good. The next update needs to change it so you can set the default series link settings. 1min early, 4 late, new and re-runs, until space needed and 10 eps is not ideal. 2mins early, 2 late, new only, until i delete and unlimited number is best settings. |

Yeah I would agree, being able to set default padding in a Settings menu of some kind would be great, even if the option itself is hard to get to.
The speed increase I'm curious about... considering they've added more features and the firmware itself is much the same apart from that, I wonder if that second core has been enabled on the Tegra 2 chip. |

There was really no excuse for how sluggish it was. It is as fast as you would expect and it needs to be now. I don't know how they did it but it was required.
As for reminders. I have no great desire for them. I have never used them, I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to TV and know when everything is on from memory. 1 thing that would be good is some form of auto view feature like on sky. Where you can set it to change channel at certain times. I used to do this on sky where you could watch tv upstairs via the RF out on one channel and get it to change to something you want to wake up to. |

Re: What to expect from your Virgin Media TiVo 15.2 Upgrade
I take it you do the network setting after the update will look in the android market for tivo.
Thanks. May need your help again.:) |
Re: What to expect from your Virgin Media TiVo 15.2 Upgrade
Just had the update and was wondering is there a step by step guide to setting up the ethernet connection. I've got a 50 meg superhub also tried downloading the tivo commander from Android market and I'm getting a download error if anyone knows something about this as well.

Re: What to expect from your Virgin Media TiVo 15.2 Upgrade
I can't see us getting an internet browser anytime soon. Seeing as it is all flash enabled, you'd suddenly be able to use your Tivo to stream illegal content straight to your TV-live football, for example-all on a dedicated 10 mb broadband connection. Given that Virgin carry most of the channels people would want to find by other means I think this is the least likely update. As good as it would be to have for legitimate reasons.

Re: What to expect from your Virgin Media TiVo 15.2 Upgrade
l just have checked my Tivo since last night's update and there is definitely a smoother quicker feel to things on there and l am just checking out where the other improvements are and recording a series link is certainly much easier.

Re: What to expect from your Virgin Media TiVo 15.2 Upgrade
The first thing that is a bit cheeky in my opinion is that "info"from the mini guide is really just "recording options" which you used to be able to, and still can, get by pressing "OK".
