This week we will be deploying what is dubbed the RCN TiVo Winter Update.. By friday the entire market should have the update that 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Browse Web Videos is going away, this has been replaced by Web Video Hotlist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
New MOVIEFONE App that is a very nice replacement to the legacy fandango app.
All these apps will launch late on Friday..
The Opera Store will launch in January, within the Opera Store App there are about 140 apps the include everything from Facebook, Twitter , Games , Weather , etc.. We are still working on that App and hope to launch it in Early Jan.
