My 1 Roamio that was on the priority update list, got it this morning. Still prefer the yellow highlight instead of the white, but I can live with this. At least it kept the dark background.
I agree. When I 1st saw the new format, I thought my TiVo had given up the ghost and fallen back to some basic bootstrap software. (black & white is pretty basic But I can easily live with the changes if the bugs were all fixed. (CC, music & photos, spontaneous reboots...... )
With 20.7.2 installed, I noticed that the software for the built in TiVo Stream in the Bolt also got updated to 20.7.2. The Stream in the Roamio Plus/Pro stayed at 20.6.3.
Has anyone noticed any difference with streaming performance on Bolts updated to 20.7.2?
My mini updated this morning all on 20.7.2 now. Btw, i figured out what was going on with the record light. Apparently the update reset some of my setting and turned on suggestions and that was what was recording. Thanks for driving me mad for a few days Rovi!
I tried primaryforce's suggestion of bypassing the sata to esata and esata to esata cable to the enclosure and run a straight sata cable directly to the drive and it booted. It showed the update splash screen and then the home page.
Unfortunately, it is not seeing the recordings or the 1 passes that were on the 4TB Seagate to begin with. My only regret is not having tried the direct sata cable approach Thursday night.

Update: I did the Clear Program Information and To Do List. After the box restarted, two things happened. The 7 passes I put on the factory drive disappears and my correct list of 31 passes on the Seagate have reappeared, all with (updating) after the name. Also, 192 previously deleted programs going back 3-5 months appeared. However, none of those are the recordings that should be in My Shows have reappeared.
Unfortunately, the My Shows recordings haven't returned. I have to believe that the recordings are there, but possibly no longer indexed or something similar. It can see deleted shows from 5 months ago, it should be able somehow to see the current recordings...
Do the streaming apps seem to be working better for everyone? I regularly use Netflix and MLB.tv. On the previous build i would constantly get where the screen would go black on MLB.tv causing me to have to restart the app. On Netflix it would hang on loading an episode. I haven't experienced either since the update.
Yes, I think Netflix and Hulu are both loading faster and are more responsive than on previous software builds. I noticed the difference especially on the Mini's. I have also yet to have any hangs in the Apps. Granted, we are only on Day 3 of 20.7.2, but fingers crossed.
Does forcing a connection play any role in this? My Premiere is loading slower than usual. Im hoping that means lots of data. And....have we determined if 2 tuner Premieres will get skip mode?
Live TV is an option that only appears on Mini's, since they have to "Borrow" a tuner from the host TiVo. Here is a screenshot of my Bolt+ still running 20.7.1
Don't we already know that it keys off of closed-captioning? That if you don't have closed-captioning (or there is a disruption in CC on your recording) - that it won't work?
What do you mean by "keys off of closed-captioning"? Do you mean local adjustments are keyed off closed captioning? Some of the commercials on my shows have CC.
Yes -- I thought it was determined (by users here) that the index marks were related to the captioning on shows. Users reported that if they didn't have a good caption stream on a show (or no caption stream) for whatever reason, then skip mode didn't work for that show
My Bolt got the upgrade and is stuck at almost there screen. Following the unplug, wait, reboot procedure on TiVo.com with no changes. Looks like I have to call support tomorrow. My other Tivos & Minis got the update without issue. Just the Bolt has issues. /sigh
Did a call home and still no update. I even entered in for priority.
