Netflix streams to my TiVo! Sometimes with audio synch problems, but still! I no longer have to watch on my PC only.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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

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.

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.

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.

Le Nubian, thanks. Since I don't hesitate to bash MS when they screw up, let me say this patch seems to work fine.
