Not interested in the streaming until they tell me it can't be completely neutered by cable companies setting the no-copy flag on their entire lineup (thanks, Time Warner).

Streaming gets around that. When you get 20.2 and have two Premieres, you can stream. You can't copy, for some reason, which is all you can do with the older software.

Had the new software for a few days now. It's an improvement for sure, but there are a few rough edges. Some of the menus are still slow (but an improvement over the last release) and Netflix still blows. The HD guide is nice and makes better use of space. Multiroom streaming would be a bigger deal for me if i had another premiere instead of the series 3. Maybe when my annual subscription runs out. This is major progress for TiVo though as their update cycle has been measured in eons.

To get the new software, if it hasn't downloaded already, go to TiVo Central> Settings & Messages> Settings>Phone & Network> Connect to the TiVo service now.

My TSN starts with 746, but the system updates don't seem to download anything new. My software version is still 14.9.2.2-01-2-746.

I saw on the tivocommunityforums you could tweet at some TiVo rep online with your service number and they would hit you with the update, but I'm not that desperate... yet.

Has the EPG ever been updated? When I tried a TiVo Premiere last year there was no HD guide and the SD guide was really, really bad. (ie. not even as a good as a scientific atlanta comcast box)

While there's not a big speedup, there are some things that are faster. I found out that paging down through our 45 episode Jeopardy! backlog was much faster.

I'm mostly excited about streaming, there's something we have to record in the bedroom due to lack of tuners that is flagged so we can't watch it in the living room. Also the more unified menu design that I was able to see looked nice. I kind of liked having the guide fullscreen instead of having guide with TV in the corner, but what can you do I guess.

I just bought another Premiere yesterday (they're selling refurbs for $0 plus service fee) for this exact reason. Now I have 4 tuners

I got one of mine for 0 @ 20 monthly and one for 99 at whatever the multibox discount that used to be like 8 or 9bux is, pretty sweet. I would love to get an actual 4 tuner box, because somehow there is so much poo poo on Thursday we can't quite get everything, but I can't justify the 500bux or whatever it is.

Multibox discount is $99 plus $14/mo = $459.75 over 2 years Refurbs right now are $0 plus $19/mo = $479.76 over 2 years So if it's worth it to you to pay $0 up front but $20 more in the long run, now's the time to buy. The TiVo Elite has 4 tuners plus a bunch of other nice stuff, but yeah it's $500 :\ lament.cfg fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Jan 25, 2012 |

Mine gets like 60% full tops, the capacity issue seems pretty well sorted... Although I pretty much only watch new shows instead of stockpiling Jeopardy

traveling midget posted:Multibox discount is $99 plus $14/mo = $459.75 over 2 years Are refurbs eligible for the multi-box lifetime discount? ($400 instead of $500). Back in the summer I bought a refurb Premiere on Woot for $50 after making triple sure that it was eligible for the $400 lifetime pricing. If you can get it for $0 + $400 that's an even better deal.

What's the deal with MRV streaming? I assumed it would work so I tried to check it out last night, but no go. Do I have to enable something?

You could get a USB wireless adapter for it, there's a compatibility list of third party ones so you can probably get one for 20bux or less.

I checked when I posted that and they have a chart that includes the premiere (which actually seems to have the most compatible adapters)

Even with the new update, I can't stand all the lag in the HD menu scheme. I think I'll stay with the SD menus until they fix that.

Yeah it seems like they sped it up only to add in some animations that seem to slow it back down. I'm sticking with it, though. I wish they could speed up Hulu somehow, it's damned annoying to scroll around within a show that has a ton of seasons/episodes.

In the time it takes to start it up and find what I want to watch, it's still faster than if I just went through Tivo.

Went through YouTube on the Tivo for the first time yesterday and was impressed that the keyboard was "faster". Still not fast enough to not use the app to type instead, but it was faster.

Well, in the bedroom we have the choice of "worst interface ever, but reliable" blu ray player or the tivo, so unless the tivo starts loving up on hulu (which also happens), we tend to at least use that hulu. Also sometimes in the living room if we can't be bothered to fire up the PS3 or 360. But yes, it's a choice of last resort.

So I am really surprised how well the streaming MRV works over 802.11n. I thought it would be choppy or something, but not at all. I especially thought things like fast-forward would not work well, or that it would be done like Netflix where you just get a bunch of still images. But the whole experience is pretty much seamless and indistinguishable from watching a show on the box that originally recorded it. They really did well with this; now I hope they put this kind of thought and effort into cleaning up the HDUI.

A little nugget here:quote:Virgin Media's school report for both last year and last quarter has been pretty positive for the Branson-Branded service. It pulled down £4 billion ($6.3 billion) in revenue for the year and made its first ever profit with a tidy £76 million ($120 million). In the last quarter alone, it added 273,000 TiVo subscribers, a figure that doubled its overall figure to 435,000.

Charter has started testing dumbed down Premiers in our area. On one hand you can use On Demand, you lose Netflix and Hulu. I can't imagine the confusion will be when I have to call about an issue and they find out I have a premier. They already keep asking if I have a Moxi, or whatever it is, when I say I have a Tivo.

Do any of you guys have Amazon Prime and know if the 'everything is free' functions work on Tivo? I can't figure out how to do it, and my account is linked, so I'm guessing no?
