20.4.6aRC1 Release Notes

That's a definite possibility. The Tivo was the only thing using the Internet at the time so I'm not sure what's happening. Video stays full HD with no freezes just a dropped line of dialog.

 

Yes, both sources are enabled. This problem persists. I can see Top Gear Season 22 available for purchase in the Amazon App with the first five episodes available for download. Those episodes show up as unavailable in One Pass.

 

Having problems creating new OnePass via the app. It appears to be set up, gives the confirmation screen, but then nothing on the TiVo itself.

 

it's still live the priority page that is

Got the update - Amazon Prime on Premiere very welcome (one less reason to flip to the blu-ray), and OnePass folders for streaming TV series ARE a game changer - a wonderful feature I'd never have thought to request - THANK YOU!!! With OnePass, I'm going to be switching to the blu-ray a LOT less.

BUT - what happened to the sorting function in the HDUI? It used to be that when I changed sorting order, the "cursor" would remain on the previously selected show, albeit in its new position in the re-sorted list. Now every time I re-sort, the selection jumps to the top of the list. The previous behavior was very useful for navigating large lists; I could start in date order, find something alphabetically near what I wanted, then re-sort and the desired show was on the screen or one scroll click away. Having got used to this, I can tell already that it's going to very tedious to scroll through several pages to get to what I want.

Is there a new option that controls this and would let me get back the old behavior? Is there some other way to speed up navigation that I'm missing? If not, hey TiVo guys, could you PLEASE fix this?

 

Whoops - gotcha #2 with this update. I like the new HDUI Find By Time/Channel screens (can usually see the whole show title now), but why can't I limit searches to HD programming only? When I hit (C) to filter, there's no "HD" in the list of filters. I liked to use this to scan ahead a few days for any upcoming movies in HD - it was the easiest way of picking up everything of interest, including odd little tidbits that would pop up on basic cable channels; just putting HD premium channels into the Favorite Channels list was another approach, but not nearly as useful.

So similar to question above - is there some other way to achieve this?

 

The favorite channels option is gone from find by time also.

 

Get rid of your SD channels so they stop showing up in search.

 

He said he likes to scan for movies in hd . He didn't say he doesn't watch any SD.

 

Right, just giving options, as many do not realize you can do this.

 

this onepass thing is confusing. on my mini (which has 20.4.6), i cant even see the 'streaming movies' folder. on my p4, adding a movie to my shows worked for some movies, not for others, and as others have stated, something that should have amazon prime as an option, like hg catching fire, does not show amazon as an option.
is onepass only oneway..everything has to be done from the tivo search? i thought i could add stuff from say, within netflix, to my shows, or starting a house of cards episode would just add it to the my shows or create a one pass? guess not. and even when i do create a onepass for oitnb, it isnt in my shows and just says no recordings are upcoming.

 

*crickets*

 

Is it possible to enable subtitles or closed captioning for Amazon Prime Streaming on the Premiere?

 

I am not in front of my Premiere now, but on the Roamio, it is definitely doable. I think you pause, press down to get "below" the pause bar, which is the caption area. Then press right to turn on captions.

I apologize if this is slightly off, as I'm posting from memory, away from my TiVos.

But assuming the software/app is the same, yes you can have captions with A-Prime streaming. I watched Transparent with captions.

 

yep it works on premiere also

 

It seems that the update removes the capability to 'turn off' folders. I usually run with folders off so I can work from the bottom of the list up. Is it true that the capability to turn folders 'off' is lost?

EDIT: Found my answer in another thread... GONE... sigh...

 

It's certainly gone for now. But since a Premiere running 20.4.5c can still display a Roamio's My Shows list ungrouped, apparently forced grouping is just an arbitrary choice by TiVo which could be changed back if enough users want it. Surely the biggest cosmetic adjustment they would have to make is to simply not display streaming options when the ungrouped display mode is selected. Switching between modes requires only one button press.

 

That would work for me and my Premiere! Hopefully TiVo is listening.....

 

what if a certain is only in SD no HD version?

 

Then keep it.
