SD looks better upscaled though. If you left it at its original resolution it wouldn't look very good at all.

It depends on which has the best up-scaling functionality; Tivo or the person's TV, or even an AV amp if they are feeding the signal through one.

Indeed, that would be why I referred to them as former areas.

I presume Knowsley will be one of the last areas to be updated as per usual.

Like most places, it'll probably be somewhere in the middle. Nowhere is "last per usual".

Still think it would be nice if the TiVo had an option to do overscan trimming on upscaled SD. Maybe I'm the only one who wants to watch HD without the edges cut out *and* SD without ragged borders...

My TIVO failed yesterday, all "channels unavailable", HD box upstairs was OK.

It took 20 minutes to get through to someone on 150, they did a reboot and all was OK. But only for an hour or so, then the fault reappeared.

25 more minutes to get through to someone on 150, another reboot, and all was well again.

Not happy.

Everyone seems to think their area is "last as per usual" yet nobody has ever claimed they're "usually first"....

People in Crawley could legitimately claim that. They tend to get picked as the only very small Knowsley region.

Nope, they haven't got it yet. HQ is full of accountants, lawyers etc. Product development is done elsewhere.

And the developers who were even firster :D

Actually den was in Pilot 2, so nowhere near first. (And you're on an old version den - we need to update your box again)

Teesside got the update Thursday, all of my friends and family have Tivo apart from one who has Sky, that's 21 households, cable is big here. And all of them hate the new colour scheme, my sister has changed to the alternative scheme. I don't mind it but I know what they mean, it kinda looks cheap or very basic?
Anyone else?

Totally agree, I think it's crap tbh, no speed improvements whatsoever.
