TiVo Premiere To Receive Updated Netflix App

We were quite surprised when the big, Fall Update hit TiVo Premiere units without without an updated Netflix app… as we had solid intel indicating a HTML5 redesign was underway. We suppose Netflix’s broader TV UI refresh and technical issues may have something to do with the delay. But, given TiVo VP Margret Schmidt’s tweet (shown above), it looks like we’re mere days or weeks away from software version 20.3.8 that includes a Netflix app on par with the experience currently available on TiVo Roamio and Mini hardware. In addition to DIAL capabilities and a quicker, modernized interface, we’re also hoping this iteration of Netflix doesn’t lock up and/or crash the app or DVR as the current one does. Guess we’ll find out shortly!

(Thanks Dan!)
