TiVo Begins Rolling Out Spring Update

DVR manufacturer TiVo has begun rolling out to Series2 customers version 8.3 of its software, which it has dubbed the Spring 2007 Service Update. New features include a much-requested "More Options" menu when watching a program, enabling users to schedule a Season Pass or view upcoming showings.

TiVoCast has also been tweaked to display logos for partners in order to make it easier to identify where broadband video content is coming from. TiVo has staggered rollouts for its software, which means Series2 users will likely see the update arrive over the next month. Software version 8.3.1 will ship later for Series3 customers, most notably adding a "high-definition filter" to TiVo wishlists and the program guide.
