Yes 1080p pass through allows Netflix to be shown at full quality; Netflix is the only content on Tivo that is 1080p. Although maybe some Youtube videos are 1080p?
DD+ was designed for digital streaming. It gives better quality for the same bitrate. Though I believe Netflix have used it's advantages the other way; reduce the bitrate to give the same (or better?) quality as regular DD. The only disadvantage with DD+ is that some older AV amps, that can decode DD, can't decode DD+, and feeding it to them gives stereo output rather than 5.1

VM (and other cable providers) can suggest and / or pay for features, but the core code is TiVo's
Remember however, that when VM first got TiVo, quite a few features that they wanted e.g. mini guide, HD EPG etc, made it back into the core code, so I'm sure there is a lot of discussion about what should be changed in each update.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
How do you manage to control the Netflix app with your mobile phone. I can't seem to do it. I start Netflix on my phone then I switch on Netflix on the Tv, but it doesn't seem to pair with the phone. Am I doing something wrong, can someone please help me.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
If you've got your TiVo correctly hooked up to your home network, then it should just appear in the app - you don't need to launch Netflix on TiVo

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
The new UI on the PS3 Netflix app is excellent , only had a brief play around but the reference to Super HD seems to have been dropped unless I've just not noticed it.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
This has probably been said before. But we didn't we all get a notice from Virgin when they last updated the box overnight that anything we set to record wouldn't be recorded? I hope nobody recorded anything overnight these past few weeks...
Anyway, I still haven't got it so I guess I'll get it tomorrow. Ho hum.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
Random question: Did the update leave anyone's TiVO on after it was updated?

Thought that was the case. That doesn't always happen does it?

It's probably a concious choice to do so - because the 'standby' is different, they wouldn't want to disrupt too much what people were used to, so leaving it on allows it to mostly act in the same way as before (barring the A/V output)

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
It's ringing a slight bell that the last major update (15.2?) left it on as well. Presumably the box wakes up to actually do the update.

Re: TiVo Update/Netflix
Looks like it is the norm the majority of the time then. Will have to look out for it when the next update rolls around.
