New Tivo Update

[2006kuredu]

Exciting news about the new Tivo Update, well done Virgin.

The only thing the update doesnt mention though is the problem with 500gig boxes wiping themselves.... does this issue get fixed? 

Will the update wipe our exisiting content on the boxes?!

No update for me this morning

Having lost all my recordings twice (once during a previous update sent out in error) I'd also like to know if this particular "known issue" has been fixed?

Yes but there are reports of the update been pushed out to people this morning.

"We're starting a pilot this week, so a larger number of customers will get the update."

Ooooo whats the latest software version?

I get my boxes installed Saturday, wonder if they have the latest.

This is a pilot in only 2 areas at the moment (Crawley and Cambridge) for 3500 customers. This will be rolled out to all customers at a later date. The new software version is 15.2

Hopefully really soon, we need this update!!, love TIVO anyway, I'll love it even more after the update. Don't leave us waiting too long Virgin. Thanks for listening.

All looks good potentially (apart from the missing fix for channel not authorised which is still screwing up my recordings!)

The other one and maybe it is the wording and I know this will create waves around here is this one -
Automatic Padding: We’ve had tremendous feedback from customers about clipped recordings, so we’ve installed a default level of padding for all recordings.

If that can not be switched off that is going to cause me major hassle as due to how the tuners work I'm actually going to be losing tuners with the overlapping of programmes rather than helping!
