Interesting experience, I connected my Elite and waited until the download had completed and then went to my XL and connected. The XL actually did the download and progressed through the install passing the progress of the Elite. Pending restart was first visible on the XL. Now both are in the "Preparing the update" aspect of the update after a "restart"!
Depending on the size of the actual update it could be up to an hour. I think the last update took a good amount of time. Let us know how long it takes for you.

I'd have to agree with the 45 minutes after the "one hour warning" screen. My XL did actually accomplish the entire operation faster than my Elite. I've not checked anything out yet.
I'm still questioning my "intelligence" of attempting this with Sandy approaching and we've had very substantial winds this PM.
My Premiere connected at 4:30 PM EDT and downloaded the update. I figured it was better to do the install now then at 2 AM when the hurricane winds are forecast to be a lot stronger, so I did the install (not really having a choice). I'm now at the "preparing the update" screen. The Premiere is connected to a UPS so I have some leeway if the power goes out, but the person who decided it was a good idea to release the update today should be demoted, especially considering it takes so long to install.
I'm guessing the box can recover if the power is cut during the preparing stage, but still...
Edit: update finished. Right about 45 minutes as has been reported
I'm actually hoping I don't download the update today. Updating during the middle of a hurricane is just asking for trouble. The power could blink out during the update. Not sure why TiVo decided to release today.
All three of my units upgraded in just under and hour and are on the new software. Really enjoying the latest updates. I really like the ability to remotely play a whole group of shows like you can locally. Lots to explore, but so far I would say a huge update and lays the groundwork for the TiVo mini that I can't wait for either.
I should have checked earlier. I have a pending restarts but had been watching news and playing Xbox Live all day. My power had gone out for an hour but since all my electronic devices are on a UPS it never affected me.
I like all the new features but my auto-transfer (push) folder, that resides on my Desktop, is messed up.
The movies do not show up in one folder, when viewing from the Premiere and Premiere Elite. Also, all of the movie Titles are gone. 'Folders" are enabled and show up on everything but my Auto-Transfer folders.
I'm going to create another folder in the Tivo Desktop, transfer movies to it and see if they "Group"
How do I do this? I'm using the standalone .exe pytivo and push all my videos to my TiVo. This is so frustrating. I just finished transferring over a bunch of series.

I believe that it has been reported that this is only for existing content on your TiVo, shows you move from now on should present in folders properly.
Looks like TiVo made some pretty significant database changes on the back end - this is just a little artifact from those changes.
I knew that gut feeling of not deleting those series from my PC after transferring them would pay off. Just didn't expect it to be this soon. I was going to give my DVDs and Blurays to family, but now I may just put them in storage.
Any idea if a series' picture can be displayed on the TiVo now? Also, has the episode order changed at all? I recall that after the last major update, unless you manually changed the file dates, your episodes would be out of order after the transfer.
I think that conclusion exceeds the evidence. All I'm seeing is that some of the group data got deleted.
I don't have any push-created folders on my TiVo right now, but my oldest series (regular recordings, but possibly transferred from another TiVo; I don't remember) got ungrouped. Other groups stayed.
