As excited as we were when the Series3 was finally released, it became bitter sweet as we realized that the latest and greatest TiVo didn't have all the features that the Series2 had. We're not only talking about TiVoToGo and Multi-room Viewing here, as if those weren't bad enough. Other features such as the presence of a Delete Items folder and TiVoCasts were also missing. While we understand that at some point TiVo had to fork their code for the Series3, we have been anxiously awaiting the addition of these features. It appears now that the wait is almost over as TiVoPony announced on TiVoCommunity that the 8.1 update is starting to roll out now and everyone should have it in the next week or so. So starting forcing those calls now, but don't bother calling customer support, they won't help you get it any faster. Follow the read link for details on the update.

You know, they could at least do us the favor of enabling the tivo to stream vids from your PC. These "software updates" from tivo are some of the weakest, most useless 'updates' I've ever heard of. At least most of the useless windows patches went to security, these go to what again?
Tivo needs to institute a policy that they don't get to do a software update unless it has at least one feature useful to its users in it.
Until they add actual HD JPEG viewing within Home Media Option, I'm not interested in the least.
Funny how Tivo can market an HD device that doesn't display HD images. Is that stupid or what?
