Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
Had a play with the new Tivo features and Tivo this evening, as mentioned earlier by me some of the menus change superfast but I did encounter some today where the screen goes blank and then the menu loads.
Also what is the 1080 pass through for, does this allow services like Netflix to display content in 1080P?
Also noticed that that the audio is in 5.1 Dolby Plus, it has been so long since I saw I looked at sound codecs is the only difference between Plus and regular DD the bitrate for the codec? Nice to see the HD audio light and D+ logo.
Quite impressed with the Netflix app and its streaming quality and they have a lot of stuff (even TV shows) in Super HD. A real worthwhile addition and VM should be congratulated for once they announced a product and it was here within a few months of the news breaking.
Edit:
Also love the fact that I can control the Netflix app with my phone, browse the catalogue while watching something and even use the on screen scrubber to go forward or back on the video I am watching.

Not sure how they did it but they seem to have put a turbo boost in with this update the My Shows menu is so incredibly responsive now I was able to delete shows with ease instead of deleting a few and they it locking up or the cursor jumping back to the top of the screen.
I even managed to clear down the bedroom Tivo from the living room with the same speed and nice to see that they have made the remote Tivo screen HD as well.
And best of all you can now manage the series link within MyShows, I am pretty sure that wasn't there before as I have always had to come out of the My Show menu and go into Manage series links. Superb.
