I am hoping the HD My shows for networked DVR's will work for my PyTiVo shares as well... I have a lot of stuff in my media library and would really love to see that interface improved.

I actually like the discovery bar, I just wish they had better pre-caching so it was ready to load when I bring it up.

I would love it if they would send an e-mail out about the update so we had an idea of when to expect it!

Why not just release the update, and have a message on the TiVo stating what is new?

Anyone notice that the ToDo pic shows 5 recordings going on? Uh, where's the secret 6-tuner Tivo at...

I'd like to see what the To Do screenshot looked like before the recordings had started. Would the X have been there prior to 8:00 pm?

exactly...no need to send an email out saying what features are coming. When the box gets updated, you have a message on the TiVo telling you about the upgrade.

Tivo recently announced a DLNA initiative, so it'll be interesting to see if that is incorporated yet, or still down the road. The press release said, "The [DLNA] solution will ship in Q4 2012."

In another tweet, Margaret indicated that MoCa is/will be supported.

MoCa support has been around since the Elite/XL4 launched. They come with MoCa. She is just saying it counts as wired with MoCa. I assume it has always been the case with the Stream, but maybe I am wrong.

The series 2 dual tuners got a change of software so that they no longer had the time slip feature when they no longer had a subscription. I think this took place earlier this year or last year. It was actually a downgrade rather than a update, so maybe saying older boxes aren't getting updates is correct.

I had not heard that. I know this is true for the Premieres.
Do you have a S2DT that you witnessed this, or could you be mistaken?

I buy and sell a lot of Tivos, so I was interested to test to see if a S2DT would not have the time slip after the update. And sure enough, when I allowed a unsubscribed S2DT to connect to the 'mother ship' it updated the software so it would no longer do the time slip. Before they could still be used for time slip even though they showed 'closed' on the system info screen.
This has made the older software S2DT Tivo worth a little more than the latest software S2DT ones that are now only parts boxes because of the update. Some people use unsubbed Tivos for security or sports manual recording or time shifting. I am actually surprised that Tivo didn't do this software change earlier, but they probably didn't because Tivos are rarely used in this way. Especially because it is technically against the Tivo agreement.
I haven't checked to see if the single tuner Series 2 have this update.
I am surprised that more people don't use Tivos for security camera recorders, as their quality is much better than the commercial recorders. Course they only record one channel, but the cheapness of old Tivos are such that you could have a pile of them recording for a fraction of the price of a commercial version. Those commercial version recorders quality is so terrible. You see it all the time when some guy robs a bank and the quality is so bad a mother couldn't even recognize her own son.

That's just the bank being cheap and getting lower quality equipment. There are plenty of them that give you high quality. You just have to pay for it.

Indeed, that would improve it greatly. But the BEST IMPROVEMENT EVER to it would be to allow the user the option to TURN IT OFF.
* More screen space
* Less distraction and annoyance
* Less CPU and network being sucked away- could improve other rendering
* No more accidentally ending up there when navigating and being STUCK for several seconds
But this will never happen.

I like the Discovery bar too! 
I've found some content with it that I otherwise might have not run into.

I find content through suggestion recordings. I don't think I have ever found a single useful thing about the Distraction Bar! Die Die Die!!!

Margaret confirmed that the HD NPL for networked devices will only work with Premier devices. I am OK that it will not work with my S3's but rather disappointed that it will not work with my PYTiVo shares - I hope that the devs can figure out a way to trick it to work, but I realize that is just wishful thinking...

It is interesting that none of the screen prints show the discovery bar... I wonder if they are really planning on killing it?

Conflicts in the To Do list? That sounds like it will be AWFULLY cluttered.
Don't get me wrong, it sounds like a nice experiment, but I'm not sure how much 'noise' it will add to the signal of usefulness of to do list stuff.

If you look at the picture you will see
C Show (will record & conflicts)
I would guess like most of the menus it will have various options otherwise no reason to list the C setting.

I think it just has its place and these screens don't need it.
It makes sense on search, but not on Season Pass Manager. I could see it going either way on To Do list, but it just seems like it would eat too much of the space there. It definitely doesn't make sense on remote TiVo screens.

Why no update to HD on any of the settings screens? I would think those would be the easiest to convert.

You'd rather have the settings screen in HD than the To Do list or Season Pass screen? Personally I'd rather them not waste time on screens I never go to, or at least do them last.
