Ok Ben, that makes sense. Is this much talked about firmware being rolled out nationwide as we speak?

Re: TiVo Commander Android App

So is that all the update is including? Disabling a few things?

VM is turning into an utter joke

Nope, it's also for stability fixes

Re: TiVo Commander Android App

It's very stable if you pull the plug out and send it back to VM.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App

Nope it is for all. Probably turn up as notification on the 1TB shortly

Re: TiVo Commander Android App

Just looking at the wording of this message. It says it'll be sent at 3am between 31st Jan and 9th Feb and pleads with us to leave our TiVo on overnight. Does this mean if we unplug it at night we won't get the 'downgrade' ?
(I suspect we'll still get it when it boots, but I live in hope.....)

Re: TiVo Commander Android App

Ho hum .

Someone has just posted a nice (if basic) android app on the support forum. Works for me at the moment, time will tell if it works after the update.

It will get the update as soon as you plug back in. The warning is more to do with unplugging during a fw update.

Re: TiVo Commander Android App

I thought the VM TIVO app was due to be released near christmas just gone ? I would have thought they'd have wanted to beat Sky to market with a remote control app.
