Upgrading new S2 80 Tivo

[d4jaj1]

Hello,

I just setup my new Tivo 80hr dual-tuner box using analog\cable box. This box replaced a 40hr Tivo box that was running version 9.2.

Looking at the sys info, this brand new box from Tivo is only running 7.2. I tried the Tivo priority page and these boxes apparently not eligible for those starting with 649...

So, is there a later version for this box than 7.2 and how do I force my box to get it? (Connect to network now does not do it)

It will usually update after 3,4, etc. forced connections.

It will always update after 2,3,or 4 days.

Cannot always expect updates after just a few minutes or hours. Possible? Yes.
Possibly not? Yes.

Patience.

Fair enough. Just curious though - which is the latest version for my S2 80hr box - 9.3 or 9.3c?

Also, I seem to remember there was a page on Tivo support that listed the changes\release notes for each version. Does this still exist somewhere?

9.3

In general, no release notes on updates.

It took my box around 2 days to get updated.

9.3c is a special version for units set up for antenna (to fix a bug that would freeze the TiVo during the channel scan). The current priority page is for those units (or at least units capable of setting up for antenna, if need be). Since a 649 is not antenna compatible at all, it stands to reason it is ineligible for, and will not get 9.3c.
