Good Morning Everyone,
I know I've been absent on here for sometime, things have been crazy with regards to some projects and future plans with regards to our Video Platform. I did want to take the time to detail for you the plans for a TiVo Update coming in the next 4-6 Weeks.. Schedule is TBD but I believe all these features listed below will be in this Winter Update..
RCN TiVo Winter Update will Include :
Dynamic Tuner Allocation : This means no longer having to lock up tuners for use for the Mini's , they will be pulled from a pool when needed
What to Watch Now Feature.. : This is a pretty cool feature that addresses some of the need to constant channel surfing with looking for something to watch. You probably have seen it on the TiVO App, It's now coming to your T.V. It shows your whats on Right NOW with regards to Movies / Sports etc..
Some Easy to Use Guide Filters, Filter by Genre etc..
Browse Web Videos is going away, this has been replaced by Web Video Hotlist
Mini's and Previews now will have the ability to access and modify the Season Pass Manager and To Do List on the host DVR.
Some Changes around Closed Captioning Changes (Transparency)
HTML 5 support, Which will include TWO REMADE Apps :
New Pandora App (HTML 5 Version)
AOL On! (HTML 5 Version) with TechCruch App
The GOAL is to get this deployed in D.C. in early December and go from there, however thats given we don't hit any show stoppers in the in-house testing over the next couple weeks..
Also, Is RCN looking at the 6 Tuner TiVo called the T6? Yes we are... :) Plans on this box are all up in the air.. As plans for this BOX get cemented I will let you guys know..
Hope all is well :)
