Still waiting on mine.
I dial in at least every 2 days to no avail.

May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of

I have received *two* mailers from DirecTV touting the TiVo
software upgrade in the last month or so. Still no upgrade
though.

6.2? My series 2 was recently updated to 7.1b-01-2-240, and the
program guide speed improved dramatically. Now that it's been running
a couple weeks, it doesn't seem to pixellize and pause as often
either.

Yes, the 6.2 is in reference to "Series 2" DTiVos.

The 7.1* version is for Series 2 SAs.

Version 3.0 is latest for Series 1 SAs.
Version 3.1.0c2 is latest for "Series 1" DTiVos.

I guess that would make my DSR 7000/17 a "Series 1" DTiVo?
Why are they sending me the 6.2 update cards/pamphlet?
It seems like they were calling it a Series 2, when I first got it.

Luck;
Ken

Your box IS a "Series 2" The 6.2 is the latest version of the OS that you
will, in the future, get. Just because you are on v3 doesn't mean you
have a "Series 1", it just means you haven't been upgraded yet.

Some people at tivocommunity.com have reported that they got the upgrade.

Nope.
