TiVo Series 3 and HD owners woke up to the Fall update today. There are a few, slight UI changes that owners should greatly appreciate. Primarily, the main menu is better labeled with Video On Demand and Music, Photos & Showcases taking the place of Find Programs & Downloads, Music, Photos, Product, & More, and Showcases headings. Might seem like a minor bump but it definitely shows that TiVo is ready to fully embrace Internet video. Now, how about Amazon HD and Hulu? A totally revamped interface would be nice, too.
And where is Netflix? Should’ve known that “available to everyone in December” really meant “either last week or last day of December.” I can’t wait for Netflix to NOT be in high-def either. Let’s drag our feet a little more, mmkay Tivo? I’ve read elsewhere that Netflix is ready for Tivo’s launch but that Tivo is still “tying up loose ends”. Really? After 4 years in development? [yawn]
