[nicknewark]

IMO it isn't any faster, i was hoping that Netflix would be fast loading, but it isn't. shame.

That said i do like the colour change.

The TiVo menus themselves are slightly faster, however iPlayer and Netflix wouldn't be affected by this change as those apps have not changed or been updated.

Don't know why people are expecting that apps would be faster without a new version.

I think the Netflix app has been updated to the HTML5 one which is why it now supports profiles

In fairness, I don't think that's really up to Virgin at this point.

Well its still dog slow , you can make a brew before your show starts.

Got up for work at 4.30am....no update. 15 minutes later all the lights came on the Tivo and it was going crazy and 10 minutes later it was updated.

Really impressed how quick it boots up now. Looking forward to playing with it later tonight...the Tivo box that is!

Needless to say the speed improvements were short lived, I'm not using what to watch now and the screen is too cramped with categories on in my shows so they've gone. Still hating the colour though...

[jobbie8]

All 3 of mine are getting slower, takes up to 5-8 seconds to start playing a recording since the update and Home and My Shows screens aren't loading up fully instantly like they used too. Rebooted more times since the update than before, hope this improves soon

hahha that innuendo pun tickled me well done.

Since Tivo is HTML5 Compatible they can design a DLNA App for the Tivo

Can someone tell me if all "red" version of the firmware (i.e. that running throughout late 2013 and most of 2014) were all v20.3.5 regardless of whether they were Cisco/Samsung boxes or 1Tb/500Gb.

I thought they were all v20.3.5 (with the VMC/VMS part of the version string for Cisco/Samsung)? Someone on the VM forums mentioned v20.3.8 - was this for 500Gb boxes?

Fingers crossed for area 04 (Wolverhampton head-end I think) being updated this week! I think earlier I read earlier their were 23 (ish) areas still to be updated so surely that means it's just 7/8 areas on Tuesday, Wednesday with the rollout complete on Thursday?

[love Virgin2013]

im in Macclesfield (Area 20) and just had the update.

This must be a 1st updating boxes on a Monday morning??

[chrispy2000]

I've had the update for a few weeks now and find the My Shows very slow to come up compared to the old version. I never use Netflix sp I can't say about that
