I suppose it's time to order one, then, so I can switch to WPA.

	S2 updated to S/W v8.1.1.4

When I got home from work tonight, my 8-year old daughter couldn't wait to tell me that TiVo had done an update (and a little dance, but I digress...). So I checked the software version just now, and it shows as 8.1.1.4. Seems much snappier in its overall responsiveness to remote commands and screen navigation. And it now offers WPA as a Network option (but only with TiVo USB dongles). I have been wanting to upgrade to a newer "range enhanced" 802.11G wireless router, but the models I have been looking at do not support WEP, only WPA. Now I can give this a try...

My $0.02 :-)

Did you sign up for the Open Beta?

Yes, I did sign up for the Open Beta a while ago.

Your TiVo did a little dance? Wow, what all is IN this update?!?

Sorry...couldn't resist.

Actually, she said the animated TiVo "guy" did indeed do a little dance on the TV :-) Probably what it does after a boot, but she got a kick out of it...

See, TiVo has cross-generational appeal :-)

My girlfriend LOVES the little TiVo guy (and how exactly do we know it's a GUY anyway?? Hmmmm...) She says she never feels alone when "he" is there with her.

Of course, she also absolutely loves the little Microsoft animated paperclip helper thing. I guess she's a marketer's wet dream... LOL
