New Fall Service update!
Uh apparently my Series 3 Tivo had to reboot for the new fall service update? Mine went from 9.4 to 11.0!?!
Any thoughts of what may have been fixed?

I have not seen a priority update web page for Series 3 / Tivo HD units, so you may have gotten one of the early releases that Tivo pushes out to a limited number of units to see if there are any problems.

i have a series 2... i got the update... my version is 9.3.2-01-2-140. the one noticeable thing, when you pause a program. there's a new option to see more information. there you can see program synopsis, upcoming shows, if you like this..., can browse actors information.

I just received this on one of my S3's, 11.0.P3-01-2-648.
I had a bit of a scare--I was only getting the screen with "Acquiring channel information." I don't know when it had rebooted, but I watched that spinning icon for about 5 minutes before manually rebooting it again. Luckily after this reboot, my channels are okay. I was really dreading calling TWC with a cablecard issue.
I've only been poking around for a few minutes, but the only thing I see different so far is a new menu item under Tivo Central, "Video on Demand & YouTube," which might become the location for the new Netflix service?

Just a guess: 10 is a branch for new hardware, perhaps the new DirecTV box.

Are you sure you don't enter any Tivo beta?
Same for the OP?

Also got the update on mt TiVo HD - not in a beta, and I had to deal with a grey screen until I rebooted...
Have not been able to check the version because my wife took it over to watch Grey's Anatomy.

Hmm, Well... It looks like I"m going to have to wait two weeks to get this one. I tried to force a connection just now and it didn't grab it. So I guess I just sit tight and wait two weeks.
Are any new features listed in the You have a new service update message?

Here's what the new message says:
"Congrats! You've just received the Fall 2008 TiVo Service Update for your TiVo DVR. This release reorganizes the TiVo Central menu, making it easier to acess Video on Demand content from TiVo and its partners. If your DVR is connected to broadband, you'll be able to enjoy the latest movies, television shows, and web videos directly from this menu.
There are many more changes 'under the hood' to support new features and services in the future. At TiVo we're always working to make your home media experience the very best it can be!
Enjoy!
-The TiVo Team"

I REALLY hope this doesn't kill my TiVo like the last update did.

After briefly using the tivo last night, I do not really see anything different. 
I am no longer in the beta program and looks like this one was pulled for the new update. My other Series 3 is still on 9.4. |

I woke up to find it paused on the "Updating Software" screen. A short while later it was back up, read the message (similar to the one copied above) about broadband and OnDemand. Decided to go check out that menu item and got an error that there was a problem with the network. I'm not on the spinning icon for Preparing to connect to TiVo service (I'm hardwired to a FiOs internet connection).
I'm hoping that the update didn't kill the connection to my network . . .
--Jason
P.S. I'm definitely not in a beta program. Reliability is my priority with the TiVo.

My S3 got this last night. My HD has yet to get it. I'm mildly concerned since I'll be away for a few days for Thanksgiving and I don't want to come back to a borked unit with no recordings made. The update looks nice, though. I have to re-learn the menu layout a little but it does make more sense than the old one.

I guess this means the "internals" for Netflix were pushed with this update and they just need to flip the switch when they're ready. The rest of whats described here sounds to match what they pushed for the S2 (9.3.2) with reorganizing the main menu items.
When you select VOD, does it still bring up that horrible SD menu thats stretched or did they finally get around to making the VOD menus HD?

I don't think there will be a priority list--the installed base for the S3/THD is so small, that they never bothered with one in the past.

That is what has always been stated, but I wonder if it has more to do with the fraction of machines connecting via broadband vs dial up.

One interesting thing I noticed on my one Original Series 3 with the new software, and had been upgraded with a 1Tb hard drive, is the the HD record time went from 144 hours to 157 hours (same as the TiVo-HDXL). Both TiVos provide 930MB of record time storage so that works out to about 6MB per hour of HD recording, I think that is correct from what i see as the record space a 1 hour HD program takes.

Got 11 last night too! 
Can't see much difference, other than slightly different menus and 13 more HD hours (on a 1TB drive). |

Got it on my Tivo HD, not on the S3 yet. Don't see much difference besides the menu re-arrangement. navigating seems a little snappier. but could be just the reboot.

Interesting. I came home to find a Fall service update. I can now rent Disney (and only Disney) movies from CinemaNow. Rented movies can be stored up to 30 days, but once you hit "Play" there's the same 24 hour viewing time limit as Amazon Unbox. There's a URL to www.tivo.com/cinemanow in the email notification too. But I have not seen the same features others are mentioning seeing with the Fall update. System version is still 9.4....
Edit: forgot to mention that I can also rent movies from a service called Jaman. Is this old news? |

My TiVo also got the update.
So far, about the only thing I see is on TiVo Central, where there appears to be a new menu option, "Video on Demand & YouTube" that takes you to the old "Download TV, Movies and Web Video" applet which used to be under Find Programs & Downloads. (which is now renamed "Find Programs").
Of course, not being in the US, I don't have netflix, disney, or anything else, just YouTube, the video downloads, and the one true media thing.
Also, I got the message stated above, but there's a second one dated the 20th that reads:
[quote]
Subject: You have a new feature update!
You've just received a new feature update that enables you to download international & independent movies from Jaman and Walt Disney Studios movies from CinemaNow right from your TiVo DVR. If your DVR is connected to broadband, you'll be able to rent movies.
To browse movies from Jaman and CinemaNow Go to 'Tivo Central' > 'Find Programs and Downloads' > 'Download TV, Movies, & Web Video' > 'Jaman Movies & Shorts' or 'Walt Disney Studios'.
And, just for trying, you'll get 2 FREE movies from Jaman once you activate a NEW Jaman account! Learn more at www.tivo.com/jaman
[quote].
Looks like a 2-in-1 update, for this one refers to things that have since moved in the fall service update./ |

I received a message on my TiVoHD that it was updated with the software but it still shows 9.4 and a re-start did not fix. Anyone had this before, will it eventually show up in a few days?
___
So, from reading more I may have received the 'feature' update and not the 'Fall' update, no real reason to have posted.
