Forgive me if this is a duplicate post.... I'm actually assuming it is, but could find anything specific about any rumors of a Firmware Update.
Has anyone heard about a pending update to fix ALL the issues with the Bolt Firmware? I've found multiple post about all the various issues, but many are pretty old and I'm really surprised that TiVo hasn't addressed them yet.
However, saying that, in my recent calls to TiVo it has become very apparent that TiVo has sunken to a new and very deep low.
So, any word from anyone that has the inside word from TiVo. In the short time I've had my Bolt I've found the following:
Frequently hangs: Doesn't complete commands it appears to have received and ignores additional commands like "Back" etc.
Reboots: When the above hang happens, often the Bolt will Reboot.
No Thumbs Up/Down: Really!?!?!? One of the best things TiVo had. With my old unit it would ignore all the shows I hit 1 Thumbs Down and they'd never end up in TiVo Suggestions. Now I get daytime Soaps, sports talk shows and other sports shows I'd never watch.
Learning (or whatever they call it): The supposed new smart algorithm that is supposed to replace the Thumbs Up/Down doesn't even partially work. It is a JOKE and should have been removed immediately. (Actually I wonder if it even was shown to the Beta testers - if they have any - because I can't see it getting out of Beta)
Clear: Only sometimes works as a one button function. And since you can recover anything you accidentally delete, the reason for breaking this feature is????? (Understand it should ask if there are multiple entries in a folder.)
Back or Left Arrow: Often when you go Back you're not on the prior screen. Especially if you have more than one TiVo and you're watching a show from the other TiVo.
Menu Design: At first I thought I'd get used to going Left/Right vs Up/Down with the menus. Then I quickly realized that they moved a lot of things and there was no logic to where they moved them. I'm guessing someone designed it in a document and then gave it to a coder that never used a TiVo. (Again... Do the Beta test???)
Icons: Again why? For the Apps you first go ACROSS, then go DOWN, then you have to go ACROSS again! If you stick to the Left/Right menu, fine. But when you get to Apps you just just to DOWN to select.
I could go on. So I come back to my original question if anyone knows they're going to fix the Firmware any time soon?
Thx
