Installed the compatibility patch to let my Word 2003/XP read Word 2007 files. Anyone have a random Word 2007 file they can shoot my way for testing? Profile addy good. Thanks - Gar

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Netflix streams to my TiVo! Sometimes with audio synch problems, but still! I no longer have to watch on my PC only.

ita, is this something you set up on your Netflix account, or an update that popped up on your Tivo?

I think we're currently on too low a Netflix plan to qualify, and I'm not 100% sure my Series 2 machine would even support this if we did.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

You are correct. I too have a Series 2 and I was dismayed I could not do this.

You need a Series 3 in order to have netflix streak on the Tivo.

Update just popped up. I will be pissed whenever TiVo comes out with a Series 4, but for now I am glad I could upgrade when I did.

Bah. I figured as much.

The problem is, I don't want to upgrade to HD unless I can upgrade *everything* at once, and I can't afford to do that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm just feeling salty about not wanting to spend $300+ on a new Tivo just because.

Our wings are not tired

I'm looking forward to my TivoHD arriving in another week or so. I picked one up on the last Woot Off.

The amount of times my TiVo failed to change the station--it's almost worth upgrading just so I know only TV Guide issues make me miss a show.
