TiVo 9.4 Summer Update Hitting Boxes This Month
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 6:10 AM on July 16, 2008
It looks like TiVo's 9.4 Summer Update has been released ahead of schedule and will supposedly be hitting every box by month's end. This update brings six new features, two of which actually seem really useful for most TiVoers. Folders will now have the option to be played or deleted, and the guide can be viewed at any time (while watching live TV, a recording, or even a download, but obviously not during menus). Since TiVo's 9.4 priority page hasn't been posted yet this update should hit your box as a total surprise while you're sleeping. [Zatz Not Funny!]

I think I'm one of the few people that owns a TiVo (HD, btw) and doesn't like it. Sounds like this update will help me dislike it less. Hitting the guide button on my universal remote and getting kicked out of a show that's being played back is one of my biggest gripes.

Does it finally fix the playback/live TV view freeze issue thats all over the internets? The last I heard this fix was just going into beta.

Anyone have an idea if Series2 boxes have been 'end-of-life'd for updates?

It seems they finally fixed some of the logic around using dual tuners. Before, if it was recording a suggestion on another tuner and you changed channels, it would sometimes kill the recording and sometimes not. Also, now when it warns you about an automatic channel change, it specifies what tuner is going to change.

"9.4 Summer Update that is hitting all boxes by the end of this month"? I bet you can take Series 1 out of the "all boxes" statement.

That's nice only if they could have this concept with FLOTV and have TIVO built into a microchip for a smartphone or a computer phone etc...
