Re: CONFIRMED: TiVo Premiere problem, fix coming "Spring 20

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.

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.

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

we installed one of the premieres and it's not updated to 20.2.1.M4-01-2-746 yet, but Omaha does not use mpeg 4 yet.

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.
