TiVo Readies DVR Software Update

By the Betanews Staff | Published March 8, 2006, 4:00 PM

TiVo is preparing to roll out version 7.2.2 of its software for all Series2 TiVo owners. The update brings a number of new features including the ability to undelete recordings, improved suggestions and support for new USB network cards.

According to TiVo, "All deleted programs go to the Recently Deleted group in the Now Playing List where they will remain until space is needed for new programs." TiVo users can request priority access to 7.2.2, which will be delivered automatically through the set-top box's standard update process.

Blame DirecTv for any TiVo updates. I bet TiVo would love to be able to update our boxes, but the idiots at directv, in their infinite wisdom, have the boxes locked down so none of the precious content gets out. Of course people have found other ways around that.

And now that they have their own PVR, directivo's and HDtivo's are dead to them.
