Tivo's first letdown

grahams - - 1 min read

My Tivo upgraded itself to the new 3.0 software last night, but it unfortunately did this in the middle of a scheduled recording. Even though it was recording the USA vs. South Korea game, it decided to reboot itself at 3am to load the new software. Seems to me it would have been a bit more graceful to make sure there were no scheduled recordings before rebooting… Fortunately they reran the game this afternoon….

It also seems that the Tivo Web Project has released a beta of their software that is compatible with 3.0… I will give it a shot and see if it works well, but first I have to get telnetd running again (it went away during the upgrade from 2.5->3.0, but I expected that).
