You can still use the free 1 month trial, then apply the code during that.

Ok thanks any idea if there working on a fix now or waiting till the next update

It can't be fixed without an update. It will be considered for fixing in the next release. No promises, though.

Well i got a phone call today to say i will not be getting my 6 months Netflix as i have Loyalty Discounts. But they did give me £5 off for 6 months so not too bad.

Loyalty Discount. £9 until 2015

6 months £5 until May 2014

With the previous version both HD and SD where displayed exactly the same size. Went through the video options, switched all resolutions back on including 1080p accepted them which then had BC 1 HD and SD images the same size. Went through the video options switched back to just 1080i and BBC 1 HD and BBC 1 SD images the same size. Curious.

Had more chance to check this out this evening - with just 1080i as output from the Tivo there is definitely a difference to the internal scaling applied by Tivo with this release when it's up-scaling.

Interesting. Any reason why?

Got the update on the 15th finally - speed is vastly improved, still some menu screens in SD though that's the only negative so far.

Got offered the same deal when I rang yesterday:
£5 off for six months (on top of loyalty discount) = £30
1 month free NetFlix trial + 5 months @ £5.99 = £29.95

So effectively 6 months free NetFlix :D

What I find really annoying and patronising is that Netflix Tivo doesn't have all the film genre, ie those that contain highly sexual content. This includes Steamy, Foreign and Gay and Lesbian.

Many viewers are adult and households with children will not have told their children the PIN. I find this nannying quite offensive and demeaning.

A work-around is to select films from such genre via your PC browser by adding them to your list in personalisation. Examples and comprehensive lists from these genre appear or get suggested by the TIVO app.

Netflix apps in Android, PS3, Wii, iPad, Internet TVs and Windows 8 and 8.1 do not appear to have the same restrictions as the Virgin Tivo app.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, if you experienced problems like slow response of switching between channels or menus with this update like me, just reboot your TiVo box, hay presto it then works fine! :)

Finally a dumb question about this energy saving feature, is it just for forgetfull or lazy people who don't put their box in standby mode when not watching TiVo, as if you put your box in standby anyway you are not saving any more energy after this update?

I rang VM yesterday to activate my free 6 months and was promised the code within "30 minutes". No sign of it yet and judging by the comments posted here it's going to be a long wait.
