It enables your TSN to be able to download Hydra. It has nothing to do with the upgrade app.Does the early access link update the TiVo or just gives you the upgrade app access to update later?
There is no place to check.I've signed up for the Hydra roll on line, but how/where can I tell when its ready to download?
thanks.
There's a downgrade app on the Tivo. You will lose all your recordings, etc.How do I downgrade Hydra? I can't seem to find the downgrade app or any instructions anywhere.
No, Tivo is not going to force you to upgrade. Where did you read that?And TiVo is going to force us to take this update right? So my gen 1 mini will become completely useless unless I buy a new remote?
You might want to search for all of Tivo_Ted's posts. He indicated Hydra will be the platform that gets developed (or words to that effect).Poor assumption by me as I've been with TiVo since the Sony series 1 and we've never had a choice to not upgrade UI/OS before. Even so, has TiVo stated they will continue to do updates, bug fixes, etc for the Old UI? I don't want to stay on it long term if it is now EOL (end of lifed). For now I'll stick with it, may upgrade to Bolt soon anyway and that would come with a new remote I guess. I don't care about Vox features. But between the lack of a back button and no live guide my excitement for Hydra died
That would be my guess. Like with most software, the vast majority of the support and development resources go to the current version.will this be the standard, "Nobody is forcing you to upgrade, but we're not blackporting new features, and resources for bug fixes will be limited for the legacy version?"
Some older Tivo remotes do not have a Back button.What do you mean lack of a back button? My back button works fine.
Hydra is not alpha/beta code. Don't mistake multiple posts, by the same people, about the same problem as numerous problems.....usually alpha/beta builds are updated on a different schedule than releases.
I highly doubt TiVo considered transfers a 'core function'.This about more than re-skinning UI or a button press here or there. When core functions are broken, like transfers, that's not a matter of "bias". It's broken functionality and a step backwards.
No, you and others found it.Kinda makes it hard to find, doesn't it?
Where, on a Mini, do you set Picture in Picture?Works without Hydra also. For at least four years.
Works when playing a recording, too.I only has a video window when you hit the Guide button while watching real time TV. And I never watch recordings on my Mini, so I can't comment on that.
Diana Collins has already posted what fixes are included in RC9.Will be interested in seeing what bugs were fixed or what new features are added in the Hydra upgrade.
LinkLink please?
@Diana Collins has posted what was fixed.... not sure what was fixed or changed yet.
With as much hate and vitriol you've posted, why don't you revert to HDUI?[Didn't quote three separate complaint posts which could have been combined into one.]
