I take it you've already been unlucky enough to have the update and it's blocked it?

I was hoping that this would be the one app to escape! :td::(

Re: New small TIVO software update

I can only assume because it makes them look bad - when they finally release the UK one and we find out it's exactly the same and all they've done is coloured it red and added intrusive adverts, they don't want people going 'hang on... it took you 12 months to do *this*?'

The US android app still works*, provided you fake the zeroconf responses (which the scripts were mostly doing anyway) as Tivo no longer sends out any at all. Presume the ipad app is the same - a lot of the later scripts tried to automatically configure themselves and that'll fail now as you can no longer discover the tivo on the network automagically.

The stuff that's gone is the documented tivo remote stuff..

* Although nowhere near as completely as the ipad app.. you don't get channel/episode graphics.

What else could VM realistically be adding that would take over 12 months?

Re: New small TIVO software update

Had to do 3 reboots between my two TIVOs in the last 2 days, and the menus also seem really sluggish too. They've both been rock steady until now. Is 15.2-01-2-C00 the new or the old software? Guessing the new as TIVO Commander is buggered now too.

I've not got the patch yet so I'm still using the US TiVo iPad app & my box is rock solid.

Why you will not be able to use it with the Tivo untill the official app comes out :LOL:

The only bit the doesn't work perfectly is one of the gestures windows - the less useful one in fact.
I really don't understand why it's not been possible to release that one in the uk already.
Maybe VM are implementing an addition to the app which will allow us to stream to the iPad. Well, I can dream.

Dosnt the US one require a PC running all the time? I don't want the official VM one to work "perfectly" like that.

It may require a PC or NAS to be running all the time, but you get a running app unlike the VM which still doesn't have a release date

All times are GMT +1. The time now is 17:06.
