Well I selected an iPlayer show today from the backwards EPG which then presented 'watch from On Demand' it then took me to the white spinning circle and begun playback.

I think there was an update that removed the extra step

Quick question

Is there a way to remove the lock when accessing Netflix ?

Yes, it's in Parental Controls > Lock Apps & Games.

Also it means for those with kids, you can now restrict access to YouTube via the PIN

Right had a play around on my parents TIVO box , the whole thing seems a lot more polished , am I imagining it or has the apps section changed , the icons for the apps seem to ping off the screen far nicer looking. The option to change the guide using green button from grid guide to live guide is nice , I actually prefer the Live grid if I'm honest. The Netflix app works as expected and loads quicker than people seemed to suggest , I also love the ability to play off Netflix direct from search all in all an excellent update.
Worded and reviewed perfectly,both sky and TiVo have made significant improvement to there boxes these past few months.both have pvr's to be proud of;)

I have just noticed, when I started up Netflix on my Android phone while sitting in the lounge, that I had a very similar icon at the top that I see when I use the Youtube app in the house (i.e. the one that allows you send what's on the phone to the TiVo box and therefore the TV).

I was curious so I clicked the icon in the Netflix app and right enough it gives me the choice of either of my Tivo boxes and when I hit "play" on my phone it loads up the app on the TiVO box and whatever I have picked plays flawlessly. This is fantastic, means I can use my phone, instead of the remote, to search but watch it on the telly :D

Is your Tivo connected to your home network?

Has anyone else noticed lines on the bottom of their tv since the update, mainly green, blue or red?

Very jealous of those who have had the update. Sounds like I will have to wait until next Wednesday now to have a play around with it if there are no updates around the weekend.

Looks like this may be another reason to add a TiVo to a home network. Be interesting to know if whatever is playing is streamed through the TiVO's connection and doesn't come through the router to the phone and then to the TiVO.

Works with YouTube too even if you've not paired it

It's this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIscovery_And_Launch
