DirecTivo gets Recently Deleted Folder

My DTVTivo rebooted yesterday due to a local power failure and when it came
back up it had this feature.

Scared the devil out of me when I deleted something accidentially from the
Now Playing list and didnt get a confirmation screen (It was the Lost
Finale!)

Whew, was I glad to see this feature but typically DTV will put a message
on the system when they do stuff like this, anyone else see this surprising
'new' feature?

Never heard of it.

(Actually, that's been out for about two years. Just how long has it
been since you rebooted?)

On a REGULAR Tivo, not a DirectV Tivo

Very Recently, power in my neck of the woods is out frequently and my
battery backup only lasts about 30 minutes before giving up the ghost.

Supposedly Directv was going to offer a Tivo update in the spring. Of
course, this notice conveniently disappeared.

So... us DTV Tivo users may or may not see an upgrade that brings us closer
to current. We are always 3 steps behind the regular tivo folks


Call or write:

Bobby Vernon, head of the "Presidents Office" at DirecTv and express
your love of Tivo.

Even though the update comes in through the satelite signal, your
DirecTivo
must make a phone call to DirectTV before the update will install.
After
the phone call, check the system menu to see if it says "Pending
Restart".
If so, you can force the update by rebooting. The process takes longer
than a normal restart (mine took about 15 minutes).

Hmm, is this for ALL PPV now?

* Deleted Items Folder

This I like

* Overlap Protection

How does this work? Is it automatic?

* Remote Booking (DVR Scheduler)

Through DTV's website I presume?

How lame of them not to get this info out to the users.

This might be accurate for the DirecTiVos:
