Latest Tivo Software Update - Nov 2013

Am starting this thread because it does not relate to Netflix at all.

Loving the new improvements to the UI.

Firstly, all screens now HD :D (Took long enough though ;))

Then the massive improvements to most of the screens layouts. And they've separated-off the 'hiccups' sections and made it easier to read.

Best update yet!!

Just not sure about the transitions. They may grow on me but I wish they could be turned off :(

    I agree this is the best update yet it's also faster at loading for me especially when scrolling down on recordings :)

    Massive improvement to the Planned Recordings page in particular (remember kids: press "2" from the Home Screen for the shortcut). Much much MUCH better.

    Everything faster too!

    I'm still waiting for it :( but it sounds like its a good update. Not bothered about the Netflix bit as I already have several ways to watch it through my TV (if I even had a subscription ;) ) its the other improvements I'm looking forward to.

    They seem to be releasing it to about 6 areas each day now. I'm not sure how many areas they've got so don't know how long it will take to complete the rollout. Shouldn't be long but I'm impatient :D

    Came back from a business trip to find the new software installed. Everything seems to be running faster so thumbs up here.

    Then again there were so many things that needed to be fixed with the GUI in the first place . . .

    Thumbs up from me. Things seem quicker generally.
    Went to my series links page, that was laid out a lot better (I thought) and when I moved a series in the priority list instead of hanging the box for 2 minutes while it thought about it, there was no delay to operating the box (there was a message saying not everything would be visible immediately so I assume is changed in the background).
    There was also an option to only record wishlists in HD which I don't remember seeing before.
    I have also seen an increase in suggestions recorded, previously they were largely programmes with a 'thumbs-up' already now there were a number of new progs just in one day. I'm sure not everyone will see this as a good thing but can be turned off of course.

    Agreed it's better, but for me the Clashes still aren't usable. It should show a clash only if the clash is what prevents it from recording. Any time I have 3 tuners scheduled, I get scores of clashes from all my wishlists that wouldn't have recorded anyway (because they have reached their number of episode limits).

    You can now actually decide what gets shown on a number of these screens. That should get rid of a lot of the un-necessary ones. There's even a specific screen for clashes!

    Press the BLUE button (and look in the top-right for the option in use!)

    Also, new short-cut. Press 6 from the Home screen to get to 'recording hiccups'.

    Not happy about the time it takes to start up when pressing the stand by button. Also not happy about none of the three channels being buffered when it comes out of stand by. It means if you press it by accident, you lose all three buffered channels.

    Maybe I'll have to leave it on permanently

    Apart from that, everything else seems pretty decent.

    so people can see the updates.

    theres quite a bit changed!
    -All menus apart from a small few in settings are now HD
    -Discovery bar redesigned
    -New menus for power saving etc
    -Live guide implemented (on gude press green for it)
    -lil tivo icon in guide changed
    -font has changed for some
    -menus ALOT faster
    -Search menu on main menu now resembles that of the US one with the dashed seperator and netflix added
    -ability to name your tivo
    -and more I can't remember

    much much needed. The TiVo is a nice solid product now!

    You don't need to do that. It will update and re-boot all on it's own when it gets the update.
