Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

About 10 mins ago my Tivo box just turned itself off and is doing a update but does anyone know what the update is?

its taking a while to do.

The update is done now and i can see a new thing

on the Channel strap at bottom of screen that tells you what you are watching and what channel you are watching well now the channel logo is on the left hand side.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Also had an update but don't know what for...

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Just had the update on my TIVO as well just waiting to see what it is

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Somethings happened.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Once updated, could you post your software version please.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Mine shows 15.1-01-3-C00

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Mine is now

15,1-01-3-COO

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

mine showing software version 15.1-01-3-COO

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Mine are both showing that version now too. Will be interesting to see what the official changelog is. They usually post something on the Virgin Media Community forum so I shall be keeping my eye on that forum.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Does it have anything to do with being able to scroll up and down by a whole page at a time? I was moaning yesterday that I couldn't do it on Tivo but this morning I'm getting a Tivo tip along the top of the screen telling me to use the Channel up and down buttons, which sure enough works. I don't know why they haven't added these icons to the bottom of the TV Guide to tell people though.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I think you have always been able to do that.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

My TiVo's always had that - channel up/down for page up/down.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

That feature has been there from the start. It is only referenced in the instruction pdf online but I do agree that it would be handy to have it on screen like the V+ does

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I'm going to turn on my Tivo and have a quick look around before I have to leave for work :(

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Mine randomly did this on Satuday evening. In the middle of watching TV, suddenly came up "there is a problem with this channel" (BBC1 HD) - I switched to BBC1 SD which briefly appeared, followed by the same message. Other channels were OK but the box rebooted itself. When it came back on I noticed the channel logo's appeared in the now and next bar so guessed there had been some kind of update. Not at home so I can't post any version numbers.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Thought something had gone on when switching on first thing this morning and was sluggish for a few mins.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

15.1 is the latest version but not sure what the changes are. Could just be for speed and stability improvements.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Yes me too,

Very sluggish for a while but ok now, cant see any changes although picture is really good, even on SD, and I have had problems with that

My software version is 15.1-01-3-C00

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

That was a big problem for you before right Ken?

I have the newer update too, guess we all have. Now if only we had a change log. ;)

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Yes major problems see here :(

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/11...with-tivo.html

I came within 1 hr of asking for it to be taken back and my V+ installed again

The help I got from the forum was first class, helped me tweak my PQ,

This update seems to have helped PQ, and trust me I would now that after the past few days :rolleyes:

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Interesting to see what the update release note says then when issued, good to hear those who have had PQ issues seeing an improvement. I'll check mine when I get home tonight.

I've seen a post elsewhere that somebody with a Pace box said they had a PQ issue in its early days but an update improved that. Fingers crossed then that the same has happened here.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

It's bug fixes. The most important ones are to fix some random reboots, picture freezes, and loss of the PIN. I'll let you find the UI changes.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Aah don't tease..........!

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Go on be a devil tell us.:D

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I have noticed channel logos now appear on the EPG

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

It's on the right side for me. It was there before, although when I first got TiVo I had to reboot the box before the channel logos would appear.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Do you know if the audio dropout bug got fixed?

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Thats always been there.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I thought the red ring of death was exclusive to xbox but after watching a recorded programme this monring going back to the menu my Tivo locked up and wouldn't play. Had to switch off. Maybe the update caused it.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Err... what audio dropout bug? :erm:

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

When exiting a recording on the odd occasion all audio (about once every 2-3 days) will drop out. No audio on live TV/Recordings, if something is recording at the time the audio DOES NOT drop out of the recording. The only ways to get the audio back is to 1) Reboot the box. 2) Play a youtube video. My audio is hooked up via TOSLINK to a AV receiver.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Not on my box until this morning

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

The logos do not appear until you decide to reboot your Tivo, so the update must have done that.

I didn't have the logos for weeks until I got around to invoking a reboot myself.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I've not heard of that one before. Next time it happens, please can you try the following:
1) If possible, check whether audio is still present on the HDMI.
2) If possible, check whether audio is still present on the SCART.
3) Try changing Settings->Audio->Dolby
4) Try unplugging and reconnecting the TOSLINK.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

That must be it then - thanks for clearing that up

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Will do, have tried 3 already with no luck.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

The audio issue, is a known issue, and is hoped to be fixed in the next update, or so I have been told by the Tivo team, as I have the issue also. I am having my boxed repalced today due to the random reboots, maybe now I dont need to. Would love to see if they have addressed them officially in this update.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I have the audio problem. I presume people are talking about when navigating through different menus and the mini window is playing back live TV and the sound stops when moving from say, Home, to My Shows. Very irritating!

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Thanks, Do you use TOSLINK?

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Mine are still on the right? :confused:

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Yup TOSLINK connected. I found it affected changing from HD to SD content. And I lost audio via HDMI & TOSLINK. Virgin have told me this is a know issue.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Fingers crossed this last update has a fix for it. It was a pain until I found the youtube trick (play a youtube video to fix the audio).

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

There's a known issue when changing from SD to HD channels which is fixed in this build. Thinking about it, this might be clinteastman's problem, if stopping a SD recording and returning to HD live TV. Though it has been previously reported as a video freeze rather than loss of audio. Anyway, as I said it's fixed now so see how it goes.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

What were the ui changes i haven't noticed anything.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Is there a public change log for this update yet ???

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Getting installed on Thursday, would be good to know what the official changelog is. Anyone know yet?

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

It would seem spiderplant knows, but is remaining very tightlipped.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

We have to be careful what we post. I'm sure he'll post if he can.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

l have not noticed anything yet.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Maybe you aren't supposed to lol.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Well seeing that you are the expert have you noticed anything with your X Ray eyes yet.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Well I didn't get the software today but I do know what's changed lol

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Pray do tell:D:D:D

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Have they updated any more of the menus to HD yet ????
Have they fixed the Random Rebooting Issue ????
Have they fixed the Music On Demand Search yet ???
etc etc etc

These are all thing we as paying customers need to know.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Performance and reliability issues I suspect.

They are about to launch the 500GB Tivo box which will accelerate volumes so suspect they wanted to improve stability as much as possible before volume supply really takes off?

The next release needs to focus on feature chnages then and the user issues reported back.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Please tell us everything.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Those will be changed and improved over time when there is a big update. This one was just to improve stability and sort a few small bugs.

I don't know if or when TiVo will update the remaining SD screens. Customers in the USA have been asking for it for over a year now.

The Music on Demand search isn't broken as such. It was added to TiVo which never had On Demand before so its still a work in progress and will be improved over time. I have reported the need to add a search and a better A-Z listing.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

No
Some causes of rebooting are fixed, but others remain. If your box reboots frequently you should report it to VM.
No

Reliability, but no performance changes AFAIK.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Today, my TiVo is slower than it was before the update. I'm not saying the update has caused this, before certain people shoot me down in flames. But when I first pressed the home button I had a completely black screen for about 5 or 6 seconds. All the menus are really slow in loading up since then.

Could the update/reboot mean that everything will take 24 hours or so to fully load up again, like after the first install?

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

After the update when i first pressed the home button it too a while to come on full. But now the box is working perfectly, Have you tried a reboot:confused: To see if that helps to speed the box up.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

My TiVo was slow first thing but it's fine now.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Same here.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Mine just got stuck; pressed "Home" when I got in and just got the red background the Virgin logo and the red doughnut spinning around. Left it for 10 mins and nothing happened and then I did the UI reset trick (TD TU Play Play) and then that brought it back to life.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Mine is running faster than it was yesterday... love it :)

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Thats good.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

That didn't even work for me, I had to PO, W, PI

(Plug out, Wait, Plug in). ;)

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Sorry to hear that.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

My "Media Access Key" is now available after this firmware update. Apparently, I can access recordings from my home network. It says to check virginmedia.com for more info, so just trawling it now.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I hope you're not expecting to find anything then.:D

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

What does the Media access key do exactly.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Correct, and I can't. Just hooked up my Tivo box to my LAN via the ethernet socket in the back and rebooted. Trying to see if it gets an IP address.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Tink it's something to do with TiVo accounts in the US. If you create a TiVo account in US, you link you box to it, and I think that key is ... the key.

Also, some Apple iOS apps that support TiVo suggest they need this key to work, but not for UK customers :-(

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

What's the UI trick, first I've heard of that one? Sounds useful as I had to reboot for this very issue earlier.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Well, all this explains why I experienced some bizarre behaviour earlier on today. At least they are working on improvements.:)

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

It's supposed to be "Press 0 while on the HOME screen" but I can't get it to work anymore :confused: The theoiy is that it resets the UI.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

It allows another box to access the programmes recorded on that particular box. I suspect for VM it will allow other boxes on your local network to access recordings on other boxes on your local network, that you feed in the media access key for.

In the states it allows pcs as well as set top boxes to access and play those recordings. It looks like VM havnt got permission for the PC access part, as yet.

Regards

John.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I don't know if it is related, but my picture has developed thin black sidebars today.
Anyone else?

Seems ok now??

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Just got back home after being out all day but my box is much slower then it was before the update.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I have found the Tivo far slower to change channel than the V+ ever was.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

l am sure things will be ironed out as with all new boxes its has little teething problems.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Have you got multiple output resolution settings for your TV? I had my TiVo set for 720p for SD and 1080i for HD, which made switching between the two painfully slow as the TV would "ping" and adjust each time. I've now switched back to 720p for both and it's as quick as the Samsung V+ ever was.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Just read your blog about this to Nialli. I leave mine on 1080i only. To my eyes I find the HD picture is sharper on that than at 720p although SD is slightly more blurry. But to be honest, since having Tivo, recording something is SD is a rarity.

Perhaps one other thing about the SD PQ from my point of view is that because pretty much all my viewing is in HD, when I do watch an SD programme I think the difference is exaggerated.

For me PQ isn't an issue and I love my Tivo!

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Is this for pictures that would normally be stretched to wide? There is a setting in picture settings called 'panel' which means that 4:3 photos show in 4:3 with sidebars rather than being stretched and looking like something out of a funhouse (sorry I can't bear watching wrongly formatted picture).

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

According to one of the Forum Team on the VM Tivo help forum, yesterday's update included a fix for direct access to VOD material form the EPG history.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

so since the update i cant use my Tivo :) pressing home/guide brings up a nice red wheel and that stays like that for 15 or so mins.
any ideas chaps? or should i give it a reboot.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Reboot, imho.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Since the update I've noticed that access to You Tube appears in the Search & Browse menu and in My Shows. Was this part of the update, or have I just never noticed it before?

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I believe this has always been there.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Perhaps my box needed a reboot to show it, like the channel logos. Until the update, my TiVo had never been rebooted.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Probably yes. Should we be rebooting our boxes manually every now and again just to keep it running smoothly. I know it isn't running a Microsoft OS so shouldn't need it, but is it still worthwhile to do?!

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Just doing mine now.:)

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

I don't suppose it hurts to do it every now and again.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

No l don,t believe it will do any harm.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Probably doesn't do any good either but oh well!

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Just remember to do it via "Home->Help & Settings->Clear or Reset Set Top Box" so that it shuts down cleanly. :tu:

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

It wont clear all recording will it if you do it that way will it.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

No l do not think so.

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Nope. :)

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Not if you select the first option "Restart the TiVo box".

Re: Tivo has just had a update but what update is it?
 

Yes, don't touch the other options of you're knackered!

You have to do three thumbs down and then press last channel to confirm you want to do anything anyway, so you are pretty safe.
