TiVo has released its Spring update, with the promised and much anticipated Netflix and YouTube apps in tow, but Engadget isn’t very impressed.
“Netflix is the most intriguing of the additions, but while TiVo Premiere owners can now watch Netflix 1080p programming with Dolby Digital Plus discrete surround sound, like Hulu Plus, it isn’t a TiVo experience,” suggests Engadget.
It also notes that the Google-built YouTube app is “like any other streamer” and with the exception of the search capability, “there isn’t much integration at all.”
While parental control features are now included, they aren’t “as full featured as it was with the old UI and is a far cry from KidZone,” notes the post.
“What the update doesn’t do yet however, is complete the HD interface transformation that some Premiere owners have been waiting two years for,” concludes Engadget. “Still, we suspect that caveat won’t stop owners from rolling the dice on an update check for their TiVo every day over the next few weeks.”
