It would/will be nice to have but not at the cost of all of my current hacks.
I am correct that a software upgrade will wipe out my Sleepered setup right?

Would this infer that you have a non-production release in your hands already?

So, it seems that for series 2 machines, we'll be seeing:

SAS2 => 7.1
DTivo S2 => 6.1

I wonder if the only difference between these 2 versions will "essentially" be TivoToGo functionality, or if there will be an ever greater divergence.

I think 6.1 is still missing the other parts of HMO- Music & Photos, MRV, Online Scheduling. Right? Just add this to the list of things DTivo's can't do.
(errr.. technically can do, but not without hacking... )

Not so sure about that. Others have reported that on their R10 machines that it appears some "derivative" of HMO is included in 6.1, just not enabled yet.

Yeah, I'd like to be proven wrong... DTV doesn't seem especially concerned with enabling any enhanced features so far. I just don't have much hope for this happening any time soon.

Maybe it won't be that unlikely to see 7.1 on DTV RID units, since we are now able to run 4.x as of a few weeks ago

Would the 7.1 be just a software update or could it include a new kernel as well? I wonder if this new version would have usb2 enabled out of the box. Or maybe LBA48?

From what I've read, both 6.1 and 7.1 will have updated kernels with lba48 support. 6.1 users have already confirmed this, since it has already been released on 2.5 units. We'll have to wait and see, to confirm on 7.1, as it seems nobody has "officially" received it, in order to confirm.

Though, assuming 7.1 is a derivative of 5.x, which uses an lba48 kernel, one would assume 7.1 would have lba48 support as well.

i'm sure - tivotogo has been in beta test for at least two months, and no, i'm not a beta tester.

So how come they are still on software version 3 after having the box hooked up for like a month?
