TiVo Premier Software 14.1c (new as of 4/16/2010)
Acording to margrets twitter, this fixes lock ups. Anyone else find any fixes? bug list? Anyone having lockups after this? Experiencing faster HD menus?

Firmware Update makes remote work
The firmware update has resulted in my remote working 100% better.

Do Tivos actually have any firmware except for a few lines of boot code?

Its more of a software update as firmware implies its flashed to rom. I am pretty sure Tivo updates are simply software updates on the disk only. Lots of people use the word Firmware though, its misused sometimes, its a technicality.

It is mostly a legacy term these days, as more and more devices use drive storage or flash. 'Patch' is probably more accurate. But firmware has stuck for device upgrades like game consoles, STB's..

Well firmware is accurate for devices such as switches, routers and other such devices which boot from a rom chip, those are not considered legacy. Not that I`m arguing with you, and yes 'patch' is probably a more accurate term for TiVo, as I doubt they drop the entire image back on the drive for every upgrade.

TIVo's are just computers running a specialized version of Linux with lots of accelerator hardware like for the graphics, and thus have the same assemblage of firmware in its BIOS and the graphics chips, and software on disk, as any such computer. I don't know if their update process can accommodate flashing the firmware; kind of tricky in an automated update process of a consumer device, leading to big support costs if something does not work right.
