Uprade to TiVoToGo Software

Does anybody here have any experience how long it takes to get the ToGo
update after you signed up for it on tivo.com?

It would seem that signing up doesn't, in the long run, affect when you
get the upgrade.

Assuming you have an unhacked unit (and an eligible one), you'll get the
upgrade as soon as TiVo wants to give it to you.

Well, I know I can not affect how soon I get it (other than signing up
for it). I was just wondering how long it took for others.

The ToGo feature is one of the main reasons I got the TiVo (+ service).
I am traveling a lot and this is a really nice feature that was
advertized. What wasn't advertized was that I can not even use it yet. I
was happily downloading the Desktop software, installed it and then
couldn't find the TiVo - searching Google revealed the darn firmware issue.

So the above + the distored sound I experience occasionally got me
pretty pissed off - brand spanking new toy and a lot of trouble with it
(inclusing having to set it up at a friends place because of my Vonage
line). It's not like the TiVo thing was just released - I was hoping for
a much more mature technology by now. :-|

It takes about 2 weeks.

Once I realized I could/should sign up for it, it took two days!
