Are you connected to broadband? One thing I noticed is that the menu only shows up if the unit is connected via broadband. Which makes sense – TiVoCast only works over broadband.

Not sure why they wouldn’t show it in Canada, since I think TiVoCast works there.

But to cancel, try doing it via the website – TiVo Central Online.

I’m a Canadian TiVo user and this TiVo cast menu isn’t on my machine. I am using the most recent software version and have forced a call (even though my TiVo connects daily without issue). I would like to cancel a TiVo Cast and can’t ’cause I don’t have this menu.

My machine is a Humax DRT800, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. All the other functionality is there. As a Canadian TiVo user, I also miss out on the TiVolution magazine. The only reason I know of that feature, is from seeing it when I first un-box and setup a TiVo. Once I enter my local Postal Code, upgrade the machine and reboot, that content disappears.

Thanks. I didn’t know anything about this.

My pleasure – thanks for the work! I played around with it last night and had my TiVo download a bunch of back episodes of CNet that I’d missed. And I’m going to check out that Best of Union 5.

Hope to see you at CES next month.
