Called tech support, there are "scattered reports" of the issue, although supposedly the 'underlying cause' is that they broke the search feature according to the person with whom I spoke.

Season Passes are the big feature, having them break like that is pretty damn sloppy.

Both my S3 OLEDs got the M update, and now adding Season Passes does not work correctly.

The Pass adds on OK, shows up, but nothing is scheduled to record, the pending programs don't show up in the to do list, and while looking at the pass contents shows all the programs coming up, none of them are marked for recording.

ANNOYING!
Must be an S3 oled thing.

My TivoHD received the update and subsequent new Season Passes work as expected. At least as far as reflecting in the To Do list and showing check marks in the upcoming programs.

My S3 OLED units have had M for about a month. No issues I've noticed but wasn't specifically looking for them.

I went and did what you described
  • added a new Season Pass
  • went to the todo list
  • verified new episode of show was scheduled to record
  • verified old episodes of show were not scheduled to record

Is there anything else I should be doing to duplicate the issue you describe?

No, that's it. When I do exactly as you described, the Pass is added to the Pass list, but the todo list shows nothing of what was just added, and none of the upcoming shows are scheduled to record. When I go to record one manually, it asks me if I ALSO want to record that episode like it normally would, and the manual recording is added to the to do list. How weird!

TiVo support person did say I was not the only one with the issue, otherwise I would suspect I'm losing it...:confused:

I wonder if it has to do with which guide data you are getting corresponding to your video source. At this time, that's the only other potential difference that comes up off the top of my head.

I'm using Comcast cable.

I have 2 units and both are doing what is expected w/r/t season passes and I've verified they've recently recorded shows (and have scheduled shows in the todo list) for season passes created after the M update. I think you mentioned that pre-existing season passes (created prior to M) were doing the right thing for you, but I went ahead and verified those have shows scheduled and have done the actual recording.

My reporting of the problem was incorrect and premature. My apologies to all. This is a guide issue.

What happened was, I selected a new program to get a Pass for, but despite there being no "R" in the description, the guide had the original air date as last year (that was inaccurate). So it thought they were all reruns, and didn't tag any of them.

I then tried another program to get a Pass for as a test, and IT HAD THE SAME GUIDE ERROR, with the same results. So I thought it was an introduced bug with the M update.

Again, apologies for pushing the panic button early.

Thanks for fessing up!

I have a Series 3 (OLED) with the 11.0k version of software and it hasn't gotten the 11.0m version just yet. If I do get the 'm' update and then the drive fails on me (or I even upgrade it to a larger capacity) and I put in a totally new drive with an older image, will I be back to the 11.0k version of software? Or is there something in the update that also flashes the motherboard with some sort of firmware as well?

You will be at the version of the image you use to update/upgrade. If you use an image of your current OS you will remain at 11.0k or 11.0m as the case may be. OS updates do nothing to the mainboard..

Once you get "m", you can pull the drive and make a backup image, and it'll be "m".

I'm gonna stick my neck out here, and say if you just replace the drive (like from weaknees or somewhere), and it has the 11.0k, you will get the "m" update, but it may take some time for it to happen.

This really isn't something to fret over. The only thing 11.0m did was correct the Tivo Desktop expired certificate error.
If you don't use MRV or TiVoToGo, this won't even affect you.

Having said that, I am curious how someone can go this long without getting updated when the updates are supposed to be automatic.

Apparently I'm running a later version than 11.0m, which is supposed to be the latest? My version is 11.3b7, which I (think) was just upgraded this week. And now my VOD isn't working...just goes back to the TiVo Central menu. :confused:
You're not a US-based user are you? this discussion is centered around the US released software, 11.3 is NZ isn't it?
