TiVo Update/Netflix
 

Couldn't find an existing thread so I though I'd create one for discussion the TiVo update and Netflix, rather than it clog up the 'Coming soon thread' ;)

Got the update today in Manchester, and amongst the things already mentioned on other threads, the 'TiVo Live Guide' alternate EPG layout has been added as an option

i.e. this one http://reviews.cnet.com/2300-12982_7-10011139.html which works like the 'favourites' EPG option that's on the V boxes (for those that used it)

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

Thanks for the confirmation. I'd much prefer this way of navigating through the EPG rather than the current 2 hour block way.

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

Is it any faster?

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

Personally never really had an issue with the speed overall and I haven't got an non-upgraded box to do a comparison against, so couldn't really say for certain.

However there are some new small transition effects when moving around that cover the jumps in screens, which is a nice touch and helps to smooth out the experience (was a bit doubtful when colleagues on the trial told me about them)

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

I haven't seen the red circle or a please wait when setting a series link since the update, and when you delete a show from a folder it doesn't jump straight down to the folder if you've kept older episodes for it. Think I actually slept better now it shuts up in standby too :p:

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

I think the new EPG looks very good but am glad there is the choice of which one to use....

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

This EPG is also what you get with the TV Anywhere iPad app.

Does the alternate TiVo EPG allow you to default to Favourites?

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

I don't think so - although as I don't use favourite channels, didn't check it

Netfix Rumour:

More areas will get the TiVo update on Thursday.

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

Lets hope us down here are not at the back of the queue as usual.

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

Im in Macclesfield and am loving the Netflix App and have had no problems at all with it.

Well done to all at Virgin media for getting it added.

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

How can i change the EPG layout as ive had a look and can not find a way to do it.

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

Press 'Guide' on the remote, then press 'Green' and then there is option for layout

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

Not sure why the update is being slowly rolled out still? I understand pilot areas but surely it's been tested enough to know it works now so surely they should release to everyone at once??

I'm just bitter as being in my area I'm the last to get everything

Re: TiVo Update / Netflix
 

The rollout hasn't started yet, and won't do until the pilot completes successfully.

For many reasons it won't be released to everyone at once. The roll-out will take a few weeks. We still expect to complete by the end of the year.

Even though I don't know where you are, I can confidently say your area is not "always last". Because no area is always last. :)
