Cable Forum - TiVo 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?

Don't think anyone knows just yet, (happy to be corrected though.) My area (33) only got the Netflix update on the very last day, so I am hopeful we won't be one of the last again, but time will tell.

Well remembered. That was true in those days, but the rest of the network has now caught up so it's no longer a consideration. The pilot regions are now chosen mainly by size.

Does that mean the smaller regions as usual get it last?.

If anything smaller regions should be used for a pilot so if it all goes t*ts up less customers are affected.

London has eight regions on the VM network.

It means some of the smaller regions usually get it first. Anywhere, big or small, could be last.

Don't bother, these updates rarely roll out at midnight, from experience it's usually about 4am.
