Thank you for clearing that up. I know what you mean now

I wasn't complaining, just stating it as a matter of fact! The ex-Telewest Knowsley headend has always received the big TiVo updates in the last or maybe second to last of the areas that are updated. I posted it on here to see if anyone else could confirm that.

I'm getting used to the new colour scheme now, I love the font, nice and modern. I do think theres too much white on screen, especially in My Shows with the left column and the folder icons in white too.

I'm surprised that the screen goes black and sound drops when you go to Home, My Shows or TV Guide still, would of thought that would of been fixed by now?

I can refute it. I have the last four rollout plans here

Rollout 5th to 15th Nov 2013 - you got it on 14th Nov (second-last)
Rollout 23rd Oct to 1st Nov 2012 - you got it on 25th Oct (third)
Rollout 14th to 26th Aug 2012 - you got it on 16th Aug (third)
Rollout 9th to 24th Nov 2011 - you got it on 22nd Nov (third-last)

So in that time you've never been last, and only second-last once.

When does London (via Haringay) get the TiVo update?

The fact of the matter is no-one knows when you'll get it. I know what the plan says, but it is subject to change (and does quite often). Imagine the uproar if I posted dates then it didn't happen.

Everyone thinks they are last for a roll out, because once you get the roll out, you stop checking to see when you are going to get it.

Same as looking for something; it's always in the last place you look because you stop looking in other places once you've found it!

I stopped looking for the new UI when I found it on my Tivo this week. No noticeable change in UI speed, sometimes seems slower, but that could bewhen getting stuff from the network, who knows without the specs for what's going on? - and we aren't going to see those!

Colours are OK, certainly less stressful on the eye as they are far less saturated than on the red one.

There's a lot of empty space, but not necessarily used in the best ways to improve useability and clarity of function.

Now if we can get the updated iPlayer pushed out? That, of course, won't happen until all Tivos are on the new software, so going to be the New Year at the earliest, and I'll probably be last to get it, like with all updates

Just curious, don't suppose you could post the last 4 rollout dates for area 04 (Wolverhampton head-end)?

Spiderplant you can probably head off quite a few posts just by posting who was last for the last four roll outs!

Sure

Rollout 5th to 15th Nov 2013 - you got it on 12th Nov (mid-way)
Rollout 23rd Oct to 1st Nov 2012 - you got it on 30th Oct (third-last)
Rollout 14th to 26th Aug 2012 - you got it on 15th Aug (second)
Rollout 9th to 24th Nov 2011 - you got it on 23rd Nov (second-last)

Impressive stuff spiderplant. Any patterns emerging overall in regards to launches? Ie people who are always last etc? Here's hoping for Preston on Tuesday
