Somebody on Whirlpool reporting that their TiVo has received 1.3b firmware.

I still have 1.3a here.

Would be great if 1.3b lets Streambaby work again :)

1.3b I believe fixes the padding bug which was introduced in 1.3a.

Despite forced calls I still don't have it. I posted on whirlpool about it earlier today.

I don't think Hybird will offer a fix for streambaby, Keary will have do it at his end.

My tivo got 1.3b by its self
My other tivo even after forced calls is still on 1.3a

They must stagger the upgrade to not kill their with all the tivos uploading

Yes, they do stagger the release so the server does not go into meltdown. But often if you force 2 calls one after the other it will trigger it being sent out during the second call.

I did may calls in close sucession and got no where.

What I have noticed is the watching from one tivo what is recorded on another no longer works. It says cannot watch the program as the item was recorded with no signal.

I rebooted both and now they say "No recordings on the selected device"

I assume this may be because the units are running different firmware

Forcing 2 calls has not worked for me this time either.

But killing your MRV due to a difference in software version is really dumb.

I also have 2 TiVo's on different versions, but do not have any MRV issues here.

11.3a > 11.3b and 11.3b > 11.3a both transfer fine.

Have you tried restarting both TiVos?

Can you tell me if you have this.


I have two tivos

LOUNGE 11.3b software
BED 11.3a software.



on the LOUNGE machine at the bottom of the now playing list there is

one item
"Tivo Bed Media Device"


on the BED machine at the bottom of the now playing list there is
two items
"Tivo Media Device"
"Tivo Lounge Media Device"

both options connect to the lounge tivo and work fine..

But why is the extra "Tivo Media Device" there ???


could this be firmware related ?

No, I have the same list on both TiVo's.

I have the same list on both TiVo's.


Does this mean you only have 1 menu item on the bottom of the now playing list or 2 ??

Actually have multiple TiVo's and run other apps like pyTivo, TiVoDesktop etc so have a fair bit on the bottom of the NPL.

Since 1.3b and till yesterday we had a single instance of an unnamed Tivo Media Device on all TiVo's.

If we tried to access it there were no files available to transfer.

Today this item has disappeared from all TiVo's and only the named media devices remain.
