9.2 rollout process begins

[CharlesH]

See 9.2 Bug fix summary thread (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=370286) and 9.2 has arrived (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=370220) in the Series3 subforum. It's in the "test the waters" limited release phase.

Hello all.

Yes, I'm swamped. Sorry, but hanging out on the forums, communicating with all of you just hasn't been possible as of late. Very busy times.

TiVoJerry is out of the office at the moment (and actually, I just got back into the office). He'll be back soon.

The 9.2 software is a Series3/TiVo HD only release, and just entered the 'test the waters' phase last night. It's going out to a small number of customers to measure the impact on the call centers. We do this with every release, it's part of the process leading to a wider, full scale rollout.

It does offer official support for verified eSATA devices. As the tivo.com/expand page says...more on that later.

There are other goodies in the release too, features and bug fixes alike. Nope, we do not provide release notes. Sorry if that bothers some, but trust that the average TiVo subscriber is not into the same level of detail as folks here on the forum. We do what we can, but detailed release notes are not on the horizon. Beat the horse, but don't beat the Pony. Thx.

Don't expect to hear much out of us regarding this release for now...it's not released yet. It's just simmering...it'll be soup soon enough. ;)

Okay, I'll ask the obvious: when do series 2 users get this?

There's no guarantee that we will see 9.2 on S2. The update may only be released on S3 as there were a lot more S3 issues with 9.1 than there were for S2.

Thats too bad about it being a S3/HD only release. Word has it that is allows for immediate viewing of amazon unbox movies while downloading. I'd like that feature on my S2's!!!!

There are pretty good odds that fixes/features added to 9.2 on the S3/HD will find their way into a 9.1.x patch for S2 boxes at some point.
