Sorry if my last post was a little misleading. There is no R1.6.3 but merely a R1.6.2 plus installer updates plus updates after installation. Essentially a 3-step process to get a TiVo up and running with all the latest software updates.

What I meant was that given it has been 9+ months since the original R1.6.2 released there have been many software patches and of late it appears that if someone cannot get network access on their PC to do the installer update then there may be issues even getting a TiVo past first base (ie a successful Guided Setup).

That to a certain degree worries me because it is retracting from the original goal to make installation of the image a very easy "boot CD, pick some config options and install" process.

There are also issues of the wrong palmod software being loaded and nic_config_tivo settings not working properly which it appears the update does not address either.

So therefore I'm calling steps to roll out a R1.6.3 to address all issues. However not being involved in the software side of things all I can do is put my thoughts forward and get comments from those who are involved with it.
