The Priority list is just Series2 units at the moment. TiVo PR actually sent me a chart several days ago when the page went live which outlined a variety of performance improvements (which have also been blogged elsewhere). I’m still stuck in Vegas, so posting is light. Sorry!

For those that don’t have the update and would like to get it, Tivo’s priority request page is up.

I suspect the real problems with Tivo on Comcast (i.e. the slow response time and the intermittent dropping of button pushes) will be unfixable, and will dog the system until they give up on it.

I’ve had the update for more than a few days…The guide should have been updated by now…

The slowdown I’m seeing is on almost any button press associated with the menuing system. Tivo button, select right and left arrows, etc. I’m even getting hiccups on 30 sec skip and ff and play buttons occationally.

Nate, when did you receive the update? It usually takes quite awhile to rebuild the guide cache which could slow you down.

Ever since I recieved this update, I’ve noticed that my S2 is slower in responding to the remote than it was before the update. Has anyone else see this come up? I have a s2 with a 200 GB harddrive.

At last, the bugs in the last update have been driving me nuts… that and waiting an hour before my movie finished downloading.

Any info about updates for DirecTV TiVo units?
