No way something as basic as this should have slipped through beta testing.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

And now the "When will [fill in your personal high priority change/fix] be available" questions. Soon followed by "You said [fill in your personal high priority change/fix] would be available by [date] and it is not." whine.

 

[idksmy]

It would be nice, and create less clutter, if people would scan the posts before reporting a problem.

For example, many people have reported the V66 problem and TiVo_Ted has acknowledge it and they are working on it.

 

[idksmy]

Problem is TiVo communication sucks.

What do TiVo's communication practices have to do with people reporting the same problem multiple times, particularly when Ted acknowledged it?

 

[idksmy]

He has already started that:
Upgrade issues we are tracking (from TiVo)

Unfortunately, people who think they have to mentioned their personal pet peeve in every thread have already turned that thread into another, repetitive complaint thread.

 

[idksmy]

Do people not read the other threads? Tivo_Ted posted the following on Tuesday.

- V66 connection errors - Periodically, MINI and MINI VOX devices are losing connection to their host DVR and reporting this error. The error also unfortunately states that it might be a CableCARD problem, when in fact it has nothing to do with CC as far as we know. We are looking at log files and investigating this problem. It does appear to be fairly widespread, despite the fact that it did not appear during our beta testing.

The instructions are on this Forum on how to rollback, use search.

mike246 wants instructions how to roll back to Gen3 without losing everything, which he knows do not exist and which he also knew did not exist when he upgraded to Hydra.

 

[idksmy]

I did not know that they did not exist. I would have thought that there was a rollback procedure as part of the beta that would have been perfected by the time of the release.

There is a roll back procedure but since it does not preserve recordings, they warn you, multiple places, both before the upgrade and before the roll back, about this.

 

[idksmy]

Too late for you since you returned it, but there is now a fix for the connection issues that you could get.

V66 error - promoted to its own thread

One small correction - @TiVo_Ted indicated they are 'preparing a patch' not that one was available.

I sent @TiVo_Ted my TSNs and, as of this morning, I have still not received an update.

 

[idksmy]

A brand new 500 gb Bolt Vox is not just $20 more because you have to include the service charges, which are not needed for a Mini.

 

[idksmy]

I am having the same problem with my minis - I was told there is a network discovery issue then I was told something else - WE CANT EVEN ROLL BACK THE SOFTWARE SO IM NOT SURE what to do at this point. I cannot watch the mini's consistently without losing connection - WHEN WILL THIS BE FIXED - THIS ERROR V66 IS ANNOYING. ITS BEEN WEEKS NOW SINCE THE SOFTWARE UPATE WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THIS????!!!

The answer to your screaming is to send Tivo_Ted a message with your TSNs.

No need to start another thread.

 

[idksmy]

I tried the voice command last night "go to ABC" and the response was that I don't get that channel... so I tried again, same error. So I typed in the channel and it went right to ABC.

All you have to say is 'ABC', not 'go to ABC'.

 

[idksmy]

Trying to be patient and wait for RC9, but the problem seems to be getting worse as it's resurfacing more frequently now. Have to do the guide option "A" trick almost 10 times a day at present ...

Perhaps you should revert to HDUI. Sounds like Hydra is not for you. Plus, I was not aware RC9 fixed the problem you are complaining about.

 

[idksmy]

What happens if you disable sleep?

 

[idksmy]

Interesting that some people are reporting features that have always been there as "Hydra bugs".

 

[idksmy]

Hydra is not a beta product.

 

[idksmy]

True ...

But unfortunately for many Hydra feels just about as close to a beta as you can get and still legitimately call it a national release ...

No offense, but no one on this forum, except maybe Tivo_Ted, knows how many devices are running Hydra and how many people have reported problems. Therefore, there is no way to determine if the phrase 'for many' is accurate. Since forums tend to attract people who are having problems and are looking for solutions, posts here are not likely to be representative of the entire Hydra user base.

 

[idksmy]

The people who post on TCF, like most discussion forums, represent one user population that is skewed towards people who either are having Tivo problems (Hydra related or not) or do not like Hydra, e.g., people who joined TCF a while ago and some of their first posts are requests for help or complaints about Hydra or people who joined TCF to complain. In my opinion, treating TCF as a representative population of users is as misguided as treating Twitter posts the same way.
