[TiVo] RCN TiVo Spring Update 20.8Hello RCN TiVo Subscribers... Over the next 4 weeks we will be deploying a TiVo Spring Update to all deployed TiVo's, While most of the enhancements are UNDER the hood, it's does provide a foundation for some exciting items in the next few weeks D.C. and P.A. will Roll Next week. And in this release you will see : MultiSession VOD Support : Right now you can only have 1 VOD session per multi room deployment. Now under 2.8 you can have multiple. at least 3 VOD sessions streaming. (as long as you have enough Tuners to spare Slightly Improved Tune times on the Mini's. What to Watch now will provide more in-depth show details and information including channel number. C133 Errors have been modified to be less SCARY. So if there is a TiVo Backoffice issue and it creates a C133 error it won't tell you the world is ending.. VOD and Other APPS will continue to work when C133 is happening. Some HDMI Enhancements and how Mini's reacted when there were HDMI issues. No more Mini Reboots. Once we get thru the 2.8 upgrade it will Tee things up nicely some very cool enhancements coming down the pipe. Also Those of you asking about the status of the 6 Tuner (Roamio) type solution, that project is very much in the works. There will be some substancial updates around that and many other exciting items coming in the next couple months... -Jason |

I've been holding out for these as my Motorola 6412 box has started to randomly shut down / reboot 1-2 times per day. |

No one does TiVo better than RCN. Multi-Session VOD! The 6-tuner T6/Roamio box with 150 hours of HD (1TB) is THE whole-home DVR. An upsell option with 450 hours of HD (3TB) would be killer. Thanks Jason. After so many years of TWC it's really a pleasure being an RCN customer. |

said by rcnman:Some HDMI Enhancements and how Mini's reacted when there were HDMI issues. No more Mini Reboots. Jason. I still have the issue with the minis losing connectivity with the Q unit, once I reboot the mini, it works fine. This is a daily issue. Is what your saying above related to my issue and will be fixed in this release or is that a different issue the mini has ? |

Re: [TiVo] RCN TiVo Spring Update 20.8Hi Jason, I am a new convert to the Tivo system. I have two questions. One is I was trying to setup season passes on two Showtime shows I watch. It would not let me do it. It stated that there were no shows available in the next two weeks. Which wasn't true as last night was the first new episodes for this new season of these shows. My nest question, when I first turn on the boxes, it always goes to a screen asking me if I want "my shows" or live tv. Is there a way to get it to always start up on live tv and bypass this screen?
Thanks. |

Please let me know what shows your trying to season pass so I can look into it. Are you sure you have the showtime channels checked off in the MY CHANNELS sub menu? Settings --> Channels Also, Your talking about the mini, unfortunately it doesn't go right to live T.V. until you invoke it, That way it doesn't steal a tuner if it doesn't need to. That is expected behavior |
|

I was trying to setup a season pass for Nurse Jacky and Californication. Both had season premiers last night. I will have to make sure I have them in My Channels. I manually set Tivo to record them. but could not set up a season pass. One additional question. Why does it take SOOOOOO long for the guide info to populate on these things? I thought it was long for the Moto boxes. This is just crazy long. |

The update has been deployed in D.C. as of last night |
|
|
Got the update. It took about 20 minutes to install. Can't wait to see the upcoming enhancements! |
|

Hey when can we get channel logos on the guide?? A logical UI enhancement |
This feature request looks really nice on DirecTV, Comcast X1/X2, WOW, etc. This is a very logical feature to implement. Tivo does it on their website, mobile apps, etc., with the exception of the actual... TIVO. lol Anyone know why it's been overlooked for so long? |

Anyone know why it's been overlooked for so long? I believe they were there at one point but may have been removed for performance reasons (i.e. to speed up scrolling through the guide). This performance issue probably impacts the older Premiere based boxes more than Roamio. |

Correct, the Cable Code Trees and the Retail ones are "slightly" different, we are on 20.8 which is based off the 20.4 Tree.. |

I had a problem with one of my minis this morning. I clicked on My Shows and it hung. Couldn't find the Q. I had to power cycle it to get it back. I've only had the Tivo for a week. Hoping it doesn't happen again. |
