Netflix and the BBC wrote the apps that are on TiVo, so it's pretty much guaranteed that there'll be no option for alternative apps or versions.

The same would apply for other services, you'll get the version and experience that the content provider wants you to have.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I'm not sure in either case we're getting th experience the content providers want us to have, are we?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I know what you are referring to, but that isn't what I meant.

You will not be able to use a homebrewed version of Netflix or iPlayer, or any other version other than the one listed.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

What I meant, and my technical knowledge might be letting me down so I stand to be corrected, is that the current apps are flash based, and the opera tv store apps are html5 based. I'm not interested in using something put together by some kid in his bedroom, but it might be that the official versions of both those apps as available through the opera store actually work better than the versions that currently live on our TiVos.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Netflix and BBC will already have html5 apps being worked on or ready to go for TiVo.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Ah, ok, thanks.

Anyone have a list of what sort of stuff you can find in the Opera store, then? I only seem to be able to find corporate literature.

I do like the look of the new screens. The new 'Partially watched' facility on My Shows and the breakdown into genres are certainly improvements.

If after modifying a recording you get returned to the part of the EPG you last accessed instead of being thrown back to today's date, this would be very welcome also!

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

I'm looking forward to this update. We don't watch TV much these days, but with Bakeoff and Doctor Who back on, its really obvious to me how terrible the current TiVo interface is. It's so slow and cumbersome, as well as poorly laid out. The switch to HTML5 excites me, as long as the box is able to cope but it should at least be 10x better than Flash. Flash can't die quickly enough.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Won't TiVo still run on flash? All they've done is add html5 support for apps, right?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

No, the TiVo software has been rewritten in Haxe.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Oh. That's a word I don't know!

Thanks. I'm good! Quick Google looks like this hit the US earlier in the year and the ui is noticeably nippier. I'll patiently wait for it to arrive (of course, it better be here by Tuesday!).

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
 

Will Belfast be getting the update on Tuesday? Its just I remember in the NTL days we and glasgow where one of the first to receive ON DEMAND, someone said those regions were always one of the most stable areas to receive new updates?
