There have been mentions about an update to the TS4k. Can people post what changes they are seeing, what was and was not fixed?

According to u/tivopm on Reddit:

Hi Folks, I wanted to let you know we will be making an update available very shortly. This is to address a number of issues that I know some of you have been having including black screen, HDMI CEC issues and others. I'll post more release notes if I get them, but as for now the update notes are below.

Title: TiVo Stream 4k Firmware Version 4734 Update Description: Firmware Version 4734 includes TiVo Stream application 1.0.27 and addresses issues with CEC functionality, HDMI Sync, and black screen when navigating to Android TV Home.

We've also added an HDMI CEC setting screen in settings: Android Settings -> Device Preferences -> More -> HDMI CEC

To get this update go to Android TV settings (you can say 'settings' via Google Assistant or use the settings icon in top right of android tv home screen). Then go to device preferences -> about -> System Update

Good to see some of the major issues being addressed. No mention of issue with forced HDR though which many have complained about too and cited as a reason to return their TS4K.

Update reset display back to default Dolby Vision and 2160p/60. Still getting blinking with Plex.

Is there any option for turning off HDR and/or DV altogether? If not, they really need to stop effing with permissions for controlling the settings. Sure, make HDR/DV on by default, but FFS let us turn it off.

Im sorry but that is like one sweat droplet off of a bottle of beer on a hot day. Im so glad it can actually control AV equipment correctly now. I have two and have moved them to TV's I dont use that much until Tivo decides whether they are serious or not.

In the thread on Reddit, the Tivo spokesperson indicates they're aware of the HDR issue, and that they'll fix it soon. How they intend to fix it is unclear from the responses. This is at least encouraging enough for me to keep my TS4K. I'm near the end of 30 days and I was considering returning it.

I was one of the first people to discover this update early this morning when it froze and crashed and rebooted with an update. I posted in the Facebook groups but forgot to on here! Anyways this is new and now it will turn my tv off (before it only turned it on). Still doesn't control the volume or mute but I haven't tried re programming the remote to see if codes stick now

Oh look they added the menu that was there all along from my other topic, but didn't you know - add descriptions and stuff or actually properly title the options. How fun. Sigh...

 

[BillyClyde]

Is there a description somewhere on what these switches actually do? I don’t use CEC much, sorry.

As far as I know...

1. Turn off CEC Entirely
2. Wake Tivo from CEC
3. Sleep Tivo from CEC

I noticed the Android security patch level has been updated to April 5, 2020.

 

[aaronwt]

And I still dont see why that CEC menu wasn't there at launch?

 

[cmannes]

Because that user story didn't get completed before the go live deadline. Deadlines often run against the intentions/goals of the developers.

 

[cwoody222]

Update made my CEC worse and that new menu option did nothing to stop it from taking over my inputs.

I’m back to turning off CEC on my tv.

 

[Bierboy]

Just a ridiculous example of rushing something to the public without adequate testing/features

 

[Noelmel]

Just got this email from TiVo about yesterday's update... (I wish they would send emails about updates to the regular TiVo's I still have no idea what the latest v8 TE4 update did or what bugs it fixed lol)

I got that too. And that’s not my experience with CEC.
