New TiVo Series 3 Fall 2007 Software Update:
I just got a new service update for Fall 2007. The software version is now 9.1.L5. The main improvement TiVo promotes with it is superior wish list functionality.
Anyone else get this update? More impressions later...

You're not a beta tester are you? If you are the TiVo "police" will yank this.

Interesting - how did you get it?
I just forced a connection and I don't have it.
Update:
Forced another connection and now have a service update installing on my Series 3. Ditto on my Series 2 DT box.

I just noticed I had a "Pending Restart" when I got home today. I only noticed that because my To Do List did not seem to go out as far as it normally does. So, I was going to check my network connections.
So, I did a manual restart, after more than an hour, it announced it had installed the Fall 2007 update. That was that.

Jumping from 8.3 to 9.1, the changes must be more substantial than just a WishList improvement.
This sounds like a limited random post-beta release, which means the rollout should be pretty close.

I wonder if this release will synch up the original Series 3 and the TiVo HD software. I love software updates!

Mine is installing now.
Maybe this is the software update for TTG & MRV, but they won't be activated until they flip the switch on the System Info screen?

Advanced WishLists!
- Multiple Keywords and/or Title Keywords
- Multiple Actors and Directors
- Any combination of Title Keywords, Keywords, Actors, Directors, and Category in a single WishList
- Negated, Optional, or Mandatory terms
- User-defined name for a WishList
For example, you could define a WishList for movies with Sally Fields but without Burt Reynolds.
Cool stuff!
Edit: Received the same update on my S2 at the same time, so this is a global update, not S3-specific.

This must be for real (or a really big mistake) - my series 3 and series 2 both now have 9.1.L5 on them.
Been wanting smarter WLs for some time now - wonder what else is new?

Both my S2 and S3 were upgraded last night too!
Now just turn on MRV and I'll be a happy camper!

I checked www.tivo.com/priority and there is no information with respect to 9.1. I forced a connection with my S3 & S2 this AM and no updates.

Usually the Spring and Fall Updates, when they first come out, are limited to x% of the unit population to determine if there are any adverse impacts to customer service, etc.
At the time of my posting, it's still before business hours in California, so I expect TiVoPony or someone else to make an announcement sometime today regarding it.

Woo Hoo!! This is exactly the feature I have been waiting on! I am a big UNC fan and want to get all of the football and basketball stuff. However, my "NORTH CAROLINA" Sports/Basketball or Sports/Football WishLists also pick up all of the North Carolina State crap I don't want. This is great. Can't wait to get the update and play around with it.

TivoCast:
One thing I have noticed so far is that TiVoCast downloads seems much faster to me. That looks like a very nice improvement. It used to take forever to get the longer episodes.
