What would you like in the next Tivo update?

The question is now after the 15.2 update what would you really like to be added in their next update whenever that is.

Re: What would you like in the next Tivo update next year?

  • Grooveshark and Amazon Music players.
  • Addition of rew/ff/colour button control on USB keyboards
  • Web browser (no chance!)
  • Red button features working
  • Multi-room streaming working
  • SMS-style text entry working on all apps, not just TiVo HD menus and iPlayer
  • Ability to copy content to/from the TiVo harddrive
  • Ability to use TiVo to stream from other non-TiVo devices via SMB/FTP/other method(s)
  • Support for pyTiVo/Streambaby if the one above isn't an option
  • Faster UI (it's good now since 15.2 but could always be better)
  • More and better quality apps, i.e. support for third-party maybe with screening process (never gonna happen)
  • Ability to have three recordings going and still watch a live TV stream minus buffering (next to impossible technically, I'm guessing)

I'm sure there are more but most are just never going to happen because they're asking so much. As long as 15.3 or whatever it is keeps things the same or better than they are now I definitely feel I'm getting my £9.50 a month worth!

I'd simply like it not to send my Tivo into a rebooting frenzy!

Yes quite a few of these features would be nice in the next update.

Re: What would you like in the next Tivo update next year?

Along with the above, Netflix and any other subscription movie/TV Show services.

Same with music; more options than just Spotify, e.g. Napster and WE7 as well.

Online backup of series links and whishlists, in case you need a box swap; very important in my view.

Associated with this, the ability to change recording options, delete recordings and add whishlists on line.

agree with them, i hate it when you get a new box and have to set everything up again, it should also back up settings and config of menus as well

Re: What would you like in the next Tivo update next year?

A settings screen so default options for express series links can be set is a must surely?

Get the red button stuff and multi room streaming working too and I'll be extremely happy :-)

Re: What would you like in the next Tivo update next year?

Defining your own express series link settings. 4 minutes at the end is way too much for most shows.

Force TiVo to not record a suggestion if there is only one available tuner. I constantly seem to have all 3 recording lights on when I get home
