You can understand now why VM didn’t put Tivo on open sale yet, the last thing you want to release on new customer is a product with too many bugs. You can see why VM are doing the March patch update then before they get near new customers.
People purchasing Tivo now must realise it is new technology and more importantly software code and there will be a time period to clear up faults in code.
So buy now with your eyes open and expect a few niggles or wait a year until VM have cleared out most of the bugs, post September update would sound a good buy time for those who don’t want any hassle.
I am happy to put up with some faults as long as they are not too intrusive or you can manage around them, but looks like I will be one of those ordering online at the end of March now with delivery in April, so after the March update at least and 3rd tuner activated which is the only issue I am really concerned about short term.
