They are not going to send out another upgrade to the entire installed base in another 6 weeks. If you think about it, by the time this one gets to everybody it will be almost November - and TiVo usually considers something released after everyone has gotten it. I hope they release by account, because folks with multiple S2s will be temporarily inconvenienced by the MRV incompatibility otherwise. Maybe October is the new November? ;)

Perhaps they'll even beat their stated November launch. Nice, good to know. Perhaps they’ll even beat their stated November launch.

If you have a box on 9.1 it cannot MRV with boxes not yet updated - they all need to be 9.1. So it looks like they've made some changes to MRV under the covers - and I'm betting that's for the S3/HD. It could be ready in the software and just need them to flip the bits to enable it on the backend once everyone is updated. As for MRV/TTG – note that 9.1 is incompatible with older units for MRV.

Pair items (in different categories even) and/or exclude items. The problem that they have to fix now is SwivelSearch. It feels glued on, not entirely integrated. Regular search, Wishlists, and Swivel need to be combined into one app. Well, they don’t call it Boolean… but that’s exactly what it looks like to me.

Finally? Excellent! That's been something I've wanted for years from TiVo. I think my life is complete. Well, maybe not, but boolean is pretty damn nice to finally have. Boolean? Finally? Excellent!
