As previously reported (and much to the annoyance of several customers) this update was reported to disable third-party apps from communicating with your TiVo over the home network. It now appears that only apps which don't provide valid authentication to TiVo (which, sadly, includes TiVo Commander) won't work after the update.
As for the rest of the update, BenMcr at the Help & Support Forums reports that it will also resolve issues with the YouTube app (does this mean we can login to our YouTube account?), along with a fix for the 'Channel Not Authorised' issue when changing channels and/or recording.

Does this mean if I keep switching the box off at night it won't update? And therefore I'll still be able to use my TiVo Commander...?
#Neil Gillibrand it will proberly do the upgrade when you switch it on...

Will this update allow multi streaming between Tivo boxes on the same home network, as promised, or will this still be blocked by broadcasters
Well, sadly I appear to have been "updated". Had my use of Tivo Commander stopped as predicted. It does seem petty to stop it when there is no replacement yet available.
About time they addressed the missing reminder function, was told by Virgin that it would be in the next update when i spoke to them in December.
Virgin Media UK is a JOKE. Almost half a year gone now and no replacement for Tivo Commander?
If there is a Tivo Remote for Android already for the US Market, whats the problem with VM?
What happened to the mantra "Customers First"?
