Anybody from Stafford had the update cause I am at work

Stafford isn't done yet.

Only 25 out of 61 areas are done so far, so there's a long way to go.

I have been waiting for this screen since it was released in the US. The old Hiccups screen was a really inefficient way of finding clashes but with the new planned recordings screen it's really easy to see what is actually planned (or not) to record.

I would have been happy enough if we only got this screen in the update but as we've got the "back to back recordings on a single tuner fix" all my bugbears about the system have now gone. For the way I use the box this update is absolutely fantastic.

I've not tried Netflix yet but if the content is similar to LoveFilm I'll probably ditch that and sign up to Netflix as I can only get Lovefilm on one of the TVs (i.e. the Smart TV) but I could use Netflix on both my TVs via the my Tivo boxes.

It is rumoured that Lovefilm will also be added to the TIVO box, but this may not be until later next year.

So you could temporarily ditch Lovefilm, claim your month's free trial on Netflix and have a good taste of what's on there, and then switch back to Lovefilm (or get it in addition to Netflix) when it is rolled out on the TIVO.

There seems to be quite a lot to get your teeth into on Netflix, I must say. I'll take a really good look at this tonight.

It says my area was updated, so i just had a look at the usual channel guide to see if there was any changes to it, ( or EPG ) looks exactly the same as before! Cant see where the update has improved anything, or am i looking in the wrong place??

That was my thinking. If the app does arrive I will probably sign up to lovefilm with a different e-mail and take advantage of another months free trial ;)

At the moment I'm using LoveFilm for the kids films but there's a few series on there I'd be keen on watching either again or for the first time.

Go to the main menu and press "2". That's where most of the visible changes can be seen.

Have you taken a look at your planned recordings? That screen is strikingly different and includes the PIP.

If it is the same as before, try re-booting the box. Some have found that this launches the new update including Netflix.

Anyone know how long Cardiff usually has to wait when it comes to rolling out stuff?

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
 
Anyone else noticed that, as well as the TiVo itself being more responsive, the TV Anywhere iPad app is also faster at responding?

This update is fantastic. Functionality, speed, UI, all improved.

Well done VM & TiVo.
