I woke up today to a new version of TiVo's software, version 7.2.2. It adds one-button delete, an undelete function and better suggestions. The one-button delete feature eliminates the confirmation screen when you delete shows from the Now Playing list. You just press the Clear button once to send the program to the new "Recently Deleted" folder.
That folder lets you recover shows you wished you hadn't deleted. The folder sits at the bottom of the Now Playing list. Its contents are the first to go if TiVo needs more space for recording. As for suggestions, TiVo says the new software "is better than ever at suggesting shows you might like." Only time will tell whether that new feature is a good one.
The upgrade also has renamed the "Music, Photos & More" section to "Music, Photos, Products, & More." I didn't see any other changes from the upgrade, which occurs in the early morning hours and requires a reboot (don't forget to reset your 30-second commercial skip hack after the upgrade!). Reportedly, the upgrade also includes updated network drivers. My upgrade came about two days after entering my unit's serial number on TiVo's site, where you can request to be placed on the priority list for the software update.
1. my tivo is MUCH faster sense the upgrade. the thing responds almost instantly to every command.
