Fall Update hurts SD Shows list

Advertisements

Same issue. Just e-mailed TivoMargret.

Thanks to all who brought this to their attention....

 

Once you email your tsn you will be updated within 48hrs or once you get her return email you can connect to Tivo then do a reboot. That is what I did because I have to remove my cable card, internet connection and cable from my Tivo or it gets stuck on reboot. It still got stuck on start up once anyway.

 

and this is what gives those of us who are the Tivo faithful the warm fuzzy feeling that Tivo does still have a soul, it may not be as user accessible as it was 10 years ago, but that heart still beats in Tivo.

 

I agree. This is what I call costumer service. It does make you like Tivo more. I don't think companies realize what good costumer service can do for there bottom line.

I agree. Everything works now.

Thank you Margret!

I have the same issue. When I do a page up or down in "My Shows" list on my Premiere, it takes about 4 seconds now to show the result. Before the last update it worked fine.

 

Look upthread at Post #18. Email the info to TivoMargret and she'll get it fixed for you.

 

I don't know if this has anything to do with the new update but when I delete a season pass it usually takes a pretty long time, today I deleted one and it was lighting fast.

 

We have authorized a new update (20.4.4b) for all Premieres using "SD Menus" which will fix this problem. It will automatically download the next time your box connects to the TiVo Service, and install during the following 2am window.

I am very sorry for the trouble this has caused!

I think it's great that TiVo was able to provide a quick solution to this problem.

But I guess I'm more surprised that there are so many people still voluntarily using the SD menus. I just recently got a Premiere after being on S1 and S2 for 11 years. I think the HD menus are awesome and can't imagine why anyone would prefer the SD menus.

I understand that when they were first introduced, the HD menus were SLOW. But that's no longer the case. For those of you still using SD on purpose, why?

 

Familiarity and/or an aversion to change is my guess. People with vision problems also tend to use it for the larger fonts.

 

Anybody notice a change in speed? My version is 20.4.4a-01-2-746, I don't know if it has changed or not.

It takes about 4 seconds to fill the screen and it seems a bit faster than earlier in the week.

 

You don't seem to have the update yet. See the note above, you are looking for 20.4.4b

 

Precisely. Not looking for, rather waiting for. Upstream comment left me thinking that it would come in last night. Since I did see a bit of improvement but noted it was not the version mentioned, I posted the comment.

Later, I emailed Margret and she responded that my system will update to 20.4.4b.

 

I like the HD menu but still use the SD because I still have a 4:3 tv and my eyes are getting old so it is easier for me to see. I am a dinosaur. I still like my old tv, but everyone is going to letter box so I guess I will be getting an HD soon.

 

Kudos to Tivo for jumping on this so fast!

To answer the question above:

My wife and I, both in our sixties, really need the larger fonts in the Standard Definition screen. If they used the same size fonts in the HD Menu, we'd be happy to switch. But otherwise, it's just too much hassle trying to get to our favorite shows, both from a visual acuity standpoint as well as trying to navigate through the extra clutter on the HD Menu.

use SD menu because tivo is Way under powered, and because I opt out of their spying
