I was part of the beta testers on the fairly recent Super Hub updates. There were about 100 people, feedback was negative in most cases, no-one heeded anything posted on the forums and when VM pushed the update out it was still full of bugs and almost broken. Then I did some virtual legwork and discovered most of their recent products are done like that. My theory is they need more thorough nerds like myself who will tinker with every single option on the box and find bugs really quickly.

In my case that doesn't matter... on my updated 15.2 TiVo I still have the somewhat unfinished but still working version from the 15.1 software. Seems like those who push the update out in Portsmouth/Fareham headend area were smart enough to realise the new YouTube was even worse so left the old one on there untouched. I'll have to check with my friend who lives in the same area if he got the new YouTube app or not, but I'd guess the answer is no.

And from what I can tell, only if you choose
Express Series Link option do you get the "1 minute earlier, 4 minutes later" default fixed padding amount. If you want regular series links with configurable options, you still can by going to
Explore this show then the
Get a Series Link option. I actually like this new layout because it prevents you going into the old-style TiVo menus in order to setup new Series Links... it's all done in the HD Flash overlay so you keep the PiP window in the top right while changing options.

No reminders on the 15.2 firmware as mentioned, but I'm going to compile a comprehensive list of what has been improved and what still needs to be looked at as it applies to my particular box later on to give people upgrading an idea of what's been changed. First impressions are, massive improvement! The ethernet enabling so you can control by phone/multiroom stream is just one of a great number of noticeable changes.
