| Margret Schmidt, VP of User Experience at TiVo, did confirm that TiVo sent Cox a software patch and Cox confirmed the fix worked, and that the fix would be included in a TiVo software update. That update is in customer beta testing, and reportedly does fix the issue. |

Re: CONFIRMED: TiVo Premiere problem, fix coming "Spring 20 Do you know if it's going to be an individual update or included in a larger update? I would think the number of Tivo Premier plus Cox users in markets with MPEG4 has to be pretty small. I wonder if there is a chance of being included in that beta testing. |

| I received a call today from "Janice" Tempe Field Team Leader at Cox, That TiVo will be releasing a software update for the MPEG4 issue on March 31st, I hope that info is accurate.
There is also another posting with more details on the TCFs

Just got a call today from a "Janice" at Cox-PHX advising that they have tested the new software and the Plus channels now can be viewed. She indicated that the software version was 20.2.1.M4-01-2-746 and was advised by Tivo that it would be available on or about March 31st.

Re: CONFIRMED: TiVo Premiere problem, fix coming "Spring 20 So... I have a TiVo HD and am in Phoenix. I presume the fix is only for the Premire? And that the HD (and original Series 3) won't be able to get the Plus channels. |

| The TiVo HD's tuner doesn't have the range. The hardware just can't do it. A software update would not change that, nor are there likely to be more forthcoming.
If i recall correctly, on my Series 3 HD the channels showed up in the grid all the same. |

2 edits | Actually the TiVo HD hardware does support 1GHz and MPEG4 (H.264), the question is whether or not TiVo would update the software. My guess is no. But it is worth a few emails to editor @ tivo.com and margret @ tivo.com TiVo HD hardware specs: Broadcom - BCM7401 chipset » www.broadcom.com/products/Cable/···/BCM7401» pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-···401.htmlMicroTune MT2131 - RF Tuners » www.zoran.com/IMG/pdf/PB-00069.pdf--

SW Version 20.2.1.M4-01-2-746 was a leaked beta trial version prior to the current SW Version and was never intended to be an official public release.
The current SW Version should be 20.2.1.1-01-2-7xx
This current SW version does include a fix for the Cox H.264 Plus Pak.
