09/13/2006 Entry: "DirecTV announces software update for Tivo HR10-250"

According to PVRWire:

DirecTV has announced a software upgrade for their Tivo HR10-250 with the new version 6.3 being released. Hopefully we will see this making the frontend media center interface a little faster.

The new upgrade includes folders in a now playing guide and promises faster search facility and EPG. Other smaller changes include updates to the menu tree, and also "my preferences" being removed with most of the options now being moved to the settings menu.

The update is automatic, so if you haven't already received it, just make sure your Tivo HR10-250 is connected to your phone line connected. The update will cause some of your settings to be returned to the factory default.

DBSTalk had the following additional information:
