TiVo Series2 8.3 update Priority Request and a couple of other things.

TiVo has started rolling out the 8.3 update for Series2 units. If you want it faster, sign up for the priority list. Series3 units will have an update soon.

A couple of other tidbits to share.

If you’re trying the TiVo Desktop 2.4 for Windows Preview Release, there is a feedback forum here.

Also, if you’re still using a phone line with your TiVo (you really want to use broadband if you can), it looks like the pool of available numbers shrank on March 1st. You may need to change the dial-in number your TiVo is using if it has had problems connecting.

And don’t forget to vote for TiVo. Currently in second place, after the Slingbox Pro.

Vote in the 2006 Engadget Awards – TiVo Series3 is in the running

Vote in the 2006 Engadget Awards for Home Entertainment Device of the Year. The TiVo Series3 is one of the products in the running. I admit I was a little bit torn – the Slingbox Pro is also in the running, and I really like both. But I did vote for the Series3. I wouldn’t be unhappy to see either one win though. :-) It just takes a second, so go vote for your favorite device.

He covers the non-DVR features TiVo has been adding, such as One True Media, Verizon cell phone programming, Unbox – as well as things that have been around longer like TiVoCast, Guru Guides, and Music & Photos.

EDIT: There is also a video that covers the same issues. (Thanks to WeaKnees Blog for catching the video.)

EDIT 2: The video is the latest TiVoCast NY Times download – neat.
