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.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

"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.

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

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