They just removed their interface to the
free Youtube library. They also clobbered their gateway to Amazon's "on demand" service (a paid option). Now it's all and only payup for Netflix. __________________________________________________ ___ Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded] |

Those only supported a TiVo-special access to Youtube and Amazon, and those interfaces are going away at the Youtube and Amazon ends. The Series3 hardware is not powerful enough to support the newer access methods that the Premiere and Roamio platforms use. There's nothing that TiVo can do about it. -- Chris Adams |

Eyup, I've been using a Series 3. It's only 7 or so years old... Good thing I didn't install that larger hard drive I was eyeing last mongh... Might be time to swap the unit for a Roamio. THanks Approx seven years? Quite a nice ride. Congrats. |

I know the desire to treat these things as ever lasting, like my 15 year-old-TV that works great, it just doesn't have any digital inputs, but these computer based things really only have lifetimes of 3 to 5 years max, and anything after that has to be really treated as gravy on the replacement train. If you had a 7-year old computer, it would be considered on its last legs.. (ie. Core2 Duo. 2GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, GeForce 8800 was a "midrange" 2008 desktop system). I tried to stretch my Series 2 to keep working, but when it gave up the ghost, I found a great upgrade offer on the Roamio, and haven't looked back. I do wish that TiVo realized there is a market for OTA/cord cutters more, since only the Roamio OTA (can't buy lifetime on it), or the smallest Roamio (500GB and no Stream) can do OTA. Thankfully you can buy bigger hard drives and (now that they are back in stock) TiVo Stream boxes. -- Doug McIntyre |

Yeah, it is kind of annoying (my old HD is at a friend's house now). TiVo was ahead of the game with some of the Series3 functionality, and now the standardized functionality won't work on the older boxes. The good news is that (from what I understand) all the so-called OTT (Over The set-Top box) apps tend to work mostly the same from device to device, so the apps on the Premiere/Roamio platforms should stick around for the foreseeable future. -- Chris Adams |

Note that it is not only TiVo being affected - my Sony blu-ray player is telling me it won't be able to access You-tube as of tomorrow. Chris |
