DirecTV Tivo and promised update?

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

Anyone know for sure when the update for the seires2 DirecTivo's are going to
begin?

Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)

I do not have the URL handy, but we are supposed to be getting 6.2 with
faster guide and foldered now playing list.
It was supposed to start in Feb.
Dealadatabase.com forums have some people saying that they have received it.
To control tech support costs, they are only updating a set number of boxes
at a time.

But I have folders, and HMO on 4.01b

Warranty? on a 2 1/2 year old box??

I wonder if Sleeper works on 6.2? I'll have to throw an old drive on my
box update it to 6.2, and then try I guess. Maybe next month.

Too bad DirecTv STILL won't give us HMO.

It's on the setup page. Unless you have an R10, you are probably
running 3.1.1e

Home Media Option, which allow standalone Tivo units to share their
stored video over home networks

When originally announced Home Media Option included various features at extra cost.
Home Media Option was renamed Home Media features soon after HMO became available
at no extra cost for all Series2 TiVo recorders.

Look here to see what is included in Home Media features:
http://www.tivo.com/4.9.1.1.asp

Note that "TiVo Desktop" is a separate product.

I got this reply from DirecTV today:

Thank you for writing. We apologize for any inconvenience. DVR 6.2 software
upgrade in your area starts approximately Apr 7, 2005.

Ref: I am in Michigan Eastern Time Zone.
