To those with 9.1/9.2,

As a current 8.3 user(on a Tivo HD), I am frequently frustrated by the slowness of the Tivo(I previously had an SD Series2 DirecTivo). My question is this: Do the 9.1/9.2 updates bring about significant UI performance improvements? If so, do the updates make the Tivo HD feel (speed-wise) the same was the Series2 Tivos?

Thanks,
Mike

9.1 is much worse than 8.3, 9.2 (supposedly) fixes this and is about the same speed.

I hope Tivo is able to perform significant optimizations. Waiting 5 seconds for the home screen to appear and load from pressing the Tivo button is a nuisance.

I've been on the fence of going back to Tivo right now, but these speed comments worry me. My comcast is quite fast. IDK.

Did you have 8.3 or 8.1 on the Tivo HD. I thought Tivo HD all had 8.1 when it was released, and 9.1 is when the code merged with the S3, so there was no 8.3 on Tivo HD. There was a huge speed improvement from 8.1 to 8.3 that Tivo HD users were missing before. One example is if you did a search by title, each time if you hit a letter, if you had to wait a couple seconds for the list of shows to display, you had 8.1, this was much faster when 8.3 came out. Another case was in the wishlist, if you went into a wishlist and did show upcoming programs, if it took a long time (15-30 sec), then you had 8.1, in 8.3 it was much faster, my wishlist for Scrubs shows 75 shows almost instantaneously, although wishlists involving HD category seem to take longer.
