DIRECTV HD TiVo finally gets 6.3 update

6.3 UpdateDIRECTV customers with the HD TiVo are finally getting what we have been waiting for; the 6.3 update that every other TiVo in the world had had for years. This update includes folders to help you organize your shows as well as performance improvements, which we all know the HD TiVo can take every performance improvement it can get. Despite the box's fabulous features, it can be slow as molasses.

Of course the next question is when? It seems that you can expect to see the update as early as one week or as late as 3 months. The update is pushed out via Satellite and activated with a phone call. If you can't wait, you might want to follow the thread over at the TiVo community forum.

Thanks Frankie!

HD Tivo - Series 3 release date?

HD Tivo
As most of you know I can't wait to get my hands on a standalone HD TiVo; also known as the series 3. TiVo's non announcement at CES didn't make me fee any better and I won't be right until they have an official release date I have one.

There still isn't an official release date, but some solid speculation is the next best thing. Thanks to Dave Zatz for making my day, he noticed that TiVo is holding a contest and the winner receives a series 3 TiVo. The really interesting part is that the prize will be rewarded in the September or October time frame and the estimated value of the prize is $1500, including a lifetime subscription. Dave is estimating September 1st and a MSRP of $800. I sure hope he is right, the real question is; will the unit be fore sale when they give the item away? I am not taking any chances and will be voting on American Idol. It will be hard considering I don't watch the show, I supposed I can TiVo the last few minutes of it so I know who to vote for.
