On this the eve of the TiVo Hydra/Gen4 User Interface, I thought that it might make sense to establish a separate thread where users' reviews and comments on the new UI could be consolidated. Feel free to use this thread for that purpose.

Given the breath of the topic, I separately have put up a TiVo VOX/voice remote control reviews and comments thread (under the TiVo Coffeehouse - TiVo Discussion sub-forum) and a TiVo Mini VOX/4K reviews and comments thread (under the TiVo Mini sub-forum), to try to make it easier for people to find what they might be looking for. Feel free to use those threads as well.

Exciting times!

According to TiVo_Ted they will start migrating the servers at midnight PDT but it might be a couple hours before the link is available

Be careful what you ask for!

Tick Tock The clock is fast approaching. Is the launch of Hydra starting at Midnight Eastern Standard Time or Will it be Pacific time..... Tick Tock......

We start migrating the website at midnight PDT. I didn't want to post the link yet, because I think there will be a short period where it's live, but not fully working. I would guess it will be ready by 3am Pacific.

Let’s see some screen shots of how things look on Hydra! Very curious to see how Hydra is different from Gen3...

If you want to upgrade to Hydra on your Bolt or Romio here is the URL
Early Access Request

Just did a forced call at 3:34 AM and so far no prompt to upgrade to Hydra.

 

[JACKASTOR]

Installing something right now... not sure what the update is but I am assuming its Hydra.... will let you know.
Hail Hydra!!

My quicktake....

1st couple minutes it looks like a soso-cableCo STB system upgrade

after a few minutes and bouncing through menus -- I must say its sharp clean and very modern! I like it. Lets see how it goes over the next few days!

ok upgraded to hydra... don't see the downgrade app very annoyed at that.

 

[tim_m]

Anyone with a mini get updated? Mine is endlessly trying to connect to tivo central then goes black. No prompt to upgrade.

 

[JACKASTOR]

Ok here is the skinny only have the bolt updated.
Cannot see any other TiVo devices on my network. can now see the other Tivos Can stream to Bolt.
Not able to downgrade
and not able to Transfer videos. that's a problem.

 

[idksmy]

My Bolt, which is running Hydra, can see my Roamio Basic which is not running Hydra. Using Ethernet.

 

[JACKASTOR]

Well I can see my Other Tivos... would like to transfer shows as its way easier to watch that way...But at the end of the day I can still stream it so its not all that bad...

Over all my first impressions are very favourable. Like the zippiness of the update. but where is the downgrade app that was supposed to be there.
