Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
No mention of multi room streaming? That along with the iPad app was the one I was most looking forward to.

So, getting the update doesn't mean you'll instantly get red button. That will follow later. VM previously said (on the Help & Support Forums) that the next update will be a depencacy for future functionality and by the looks of it, red button is it.

Because when it's left to companies like Sky to come up with new ventures you get people complaining when they end up being only available for Sky customers. Just look at the complaints prior to now about the Sky red button apps not being available on cable. At least with the Beeb coming up with new technology their remit forces them to make it available to everyone due to their public funding.

Neil Berkett also appears to imply that the next software update for TiVo will be in October, and will feature multi-room streaming from other TiVos in your home:
Just think about October, the second drop. The access your hard drive from another device. Your connected TV would by then know you. It will be recording things the things you've forgot to record.

I get that but it seems as if the BBC are world beaters (by being first and best) at services so I'd love to see what their R&D costs are for things like iPlayer and Red Button.
Something like iPlayer, which has been around for years, is only now being matched for quality by Hulu. It insane that the BBC is at the forefront of TV progression when billion dollar companies appear to do nothing.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
I think everyone will get the Tivo update at the end of October
Quote:
Hi Unknown,
Could you explain how the update announcement was vague? We went into great detail about a number of the new features and what they'd do.
We're starting a pilot this week, so a larger number of customers will get the update. After passing that test, we'll push the update on to everyone else. Again, until we're confident of the date it doesn't make sense to post anything, but I will try to give at least a few days advance notice as the TiVo will likely reboot overnight to be updated.
Thanks

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
So far I have noticed sky channels now showing in the mini box,track skipping on playlists for music on demand,apps are listed by category order. Off to work so not had much time to play with the box.
