TiVo Hydra/Gen4 User Interface reviews and comments thread

OK thanks. For that alone I would never want to switch to Hydra if not fixed.

 

All my minis are in a constant loop after downloading and updating. Power cycling doesn’t seem to help.

 

I only attempted the upgrade on 1 of my 3 Mini's. Stuck in a loop like yours.

TiVo Ted knows and says they are investigating. I'll check back in a few hours and see if there is any news.

 

I've never used that, but when I entered codes, nothing changes. Play bar does not hang around for "Several" seconds ( on my bolt), seems to be just a second,

FYI I upgraded on a standard bolt with an external hard drive, and had no issues.

 

Thanks. How about when you hit "pause". Does play bar stay up several seconds or just 1 second?

 

I would say the same starts lowering at about 1 second

 

All hope is not lost mini friends. I ended up doing a 2nd power cycle on my mini and it picked up the update!

Re-mapped the Back button on both of my harmony remotes to the Exit button as well... helps makes things easier.

Only thing investigating now is on return from standby on mini it did not return to the last channel, it was showing channel 2 (first channel in channel list).

Anyone determine if you can "reverse" sort the sort by season? Sort by season has youngest episode on top (or furtherest left depending on your view of my shows). Had to sort by date to get most recent item on top.

 

Like I said I never used this, as I didnt see the delay as a real problem. That being said, I just entered on my premiere ( not upgraded) and entering codes didn't change the delay. Delay is longer on my premiere than on upgraded bolt, but being older box, it might of always been that way.

 

I am getting a message: Recording not permitted - copyright permits viewing but not recording of this show.

 

s-p-s-9-s brings up the clock for me. And....I got a new Tivo for free do da do da!!

 

Does it stay after you go to other shows, menus?

 

You dont have to do anything to your mini. Unplug your MAIN BOX from the network.

Then you should be able to navigate the minis menu and have it update.

 

Good to know, as I have the same setup.

I've signed up for the Hydra roll on line, but how/where can I tell when its ready to download?
thanks.

 

Above worked for gen 2 Mini. Gen 1 mini worked for a minute, then went back to the loop, not working.

Anyone have a gen 1 mini working?

 

I have a Bolt, Roamio Plus and Mini (gen 2). Upgrade on all went smoothly with the exception of the Mini, had to power cycle it to ‘catch’ and install the upgrade. That went well after the power cycle.

Overall I am very impressed with the more graphical nature of the UI and haven’t found but one thing I miss and that is the Live Guide. Hopefully that will be brought back at some point in time. It seems a bit more fiddly than the previous UI, but I think that is more because things are enough different than anything else.

Thumbs up/down work fine on the Bolt, haven’t checked on the others yet. I have a Harmony One remote, but I only use it to turn everything on since the Tivo remote is so much better IMO.

Considering this is a very major upgrade for Tivo, I have to give them kudos for getting it right overall. Going to be interesting going forward to see what changes/tweaks they bring out.

There is no place to check.

signed up about 8am and did some force connections starting about 1 hour after. Got it to download at 2 1/2 hours after I signed up

 

Yes. I had to power cycle it, but it's working just fine.
