I believe you need the updated tivo app.

This is basically a replacement service for the youtube remote app

Just watched Texas Chainsaw via Netflix, Via TiVo!. Whilst not the best movie in the world, the picture quality was excellent!. No streaming problems at all!. I did notice when you hit the info button the remote, it brings up the streaming info, and it was showing 1080 superHD. Very impressed, I'll be keeping Netflix, much cheaper option than sky movies subs, and lots of choice!.

What's clash reporting then?

What you describe has always happened in recording hiccups.

Goto Planned Recordings, there's now options there (via the blue button) to show clashes. Everything there is reported as a clash, when in some cases it isn't a clash at all.

That's good; on many Netflix devices, for any 1080 stream, the streaming info only shows that it is 1080HD, so you don't know If you are getting the standard HD or super HD.

If you can't tell then why does it matter?

You're obviously not a details person, are you?

You can get a Netflix stream that maybe doesn't look as good as it should do for something that is labelled Super HD on the title details.

Is it because the original content just isn't good, or is it because although it should be streaming at Super HD, either the Netflix servers aren't dishing up the 4300 or 5800 kbps of super HD streams or the Tivo connection is struggling and giving a lower streaming rate?

If the device streaming info only shows 1080HD for any quality 1080 stream, you don't know. But I it shows 1080 Super HD when it does get a Super HD stream, and the quality isn't very good, then you know it's the content. If it only shows 1080HD, on a super HD title, then you know there is congestion somewhere in the streaming.

That makes sense, I didn't understand from what you had originally posted why it was a problem.

Ah-ha! You'll see what I mean when you get it.

Overall, the update is great. Its almost like using a new box, you'll enjoy it I'm sure.

Another question - when the Netflix app arrives how do you subscribe to it? Online or via the app itself? :)

You should be able to subscribe by either method. You can sign up via the app on other platforms so I don't see why the TiVo should be any different.

Signing up via the app also gives you a free months' trial.
