Hello,

We have recently came out with a new beta firmware for TIVO ONLY this will NOT help faxing, alarm systems, etc.

This is only for the RT and WRT devices. We have a new firmware that we are testing. It has worked in the pre-liminaries with a slow but yet successful set-up. If you are willing to test the new firmware, please PM me with the following:

Customer Account Number:
Customer Contact Phone Number:
Tivo Series:
Device Type: RT or WRT ONLY

Note: This works for all flavors of tivo, including but not limited to, Direct TV Tivo, Replay TV, etc.

I have a DirecTiVo that has been working fine with a Motorola VT unit. Does this firmware have any future impact on me, i.e. should I consider requesting a hardware upgrade after this firmware has been proven to work?

OK, whoever replied to me in a PM i appreciate the feedback, however if I forward them about the 30 requests I got tonight they'll kill me, lol. So I will get to all your requests, just give me a few days to feed them a few each day. Thanks.

I suppose this will not work with UltimateTV with DirecTV? It is another DVR offered by DirecTV.

Call me stupid, but you state this is only for the RT or WRT devices. Can you elaborate what an RT device is. I will be moving in a few months and I won't be able to use the PPP to serial method that I currently use, this means I will have to try and use my Vonage line. So of course I would like to test this out, if it applies to my router.

Side note, there will be too great a distance in the new house between the PC and my DirecTiVo unit, that is why I have to find a new way to call in, I don't enjoy the daily nag.
