Excellent news Vince.

Right, I have a problem. Netflix working fine on downstairs TIVO, however upstairs TIVO will not run any apps. If I go into apps I just get grey squares and a message that apps are temporarily unavailable. I have rebooted the box and also forced connection to VM servers. Any suggestions? I have renamed both boxes this morning so I am not sure if this is relevant. Thanks in advance.

When changing menus mine does a weird fade thing (a bit like windows 7) i presumed this was intentional?!

Changing channels definitely faster!!! MUCH less delay!

Apart from that don't see much difference.

Thought it might me more exciting lol.

It used to do it straight away!!! To be honest I like the new look, I'm pleased with the addition of Netflix which I'm scrolling through as we speak, but I think the standby thing is a little bit silly, and there's no way in hell that the box itself is faster. It might appear so because some of the menu transitions are a bit quicker, but the screens still take a while to fully populate. That said I've never really felt it was an especially slow bow either, given everything it has to do. On the plus side when you enter my shows now there is a handy on screen guide explaining the quick keys which pops up. That's a really good idea based solely on the number of people on this forum alone who have thought the my shows menu was difficult to navigate - it isn't, and Virgin/TiVo are finally giving the sort of information it's customers want.

Try Home>Help & Settings>Parental Controls> (enter PIN) >Lock Apps & Games

If Netflix is shown as blocked then it either needs to be Unlocked or Locked depending on your preference.

Any good?

BIB - I've spent a few minutes playing around and only just occurred to me to change the channels. Yes, you're right, that definitely DOES feel zippier.

No I already did that list night. I actually launched the app last night but have only signed up to Netflix this morning so wanted to put in account details but now it doesn't launch. Maybe I'll try a power off rather than a restart...

Unplugging the device and leaving it unplugged for about 1 minute normally sorts it out and is a better option than just doing a restart

Still not here in Sheffield on any of our 4 boxes.

I thought they would all be done by the 14th?

BenMcr · 14-11-2013, 09:13

Should all be done by tomorrow barring any changes to the plan

think that's what I going to do get the month free trial not trying for 6 month free trial going to see what official price rises are before even thinking about another contract

andy_m · 14-11-2013, 09:49

The Netflix picture quality is amazing! Is there anyway to get it to pre-buffer and then start in super hd as opposed to starting in lower quality and then building up to it?

Agreed! That's my approach anyway. I find it suspicious netflix has come out and it's 6 months free if you sign up to a new contract whilst news of a price hike filter through immediately after ....

Has the TiVo update roll out now ended or is it one more day to go?
