<p>TiVo has been rolling out a firmware update that has given some DVR users a lot more than they were bargaining for. Officially, the refresh supplies Mini, Premiere and Roamio units with a very helpful page for default recording options as well as a host of bug fixes. However, that's when it's working -- quite a few subscribers have been dealing with glitches instead. Some Mini users have received an error that prevents installing the update without unplugging the set-top box for up to three days. Meanwhile, others have seen some of their gear roll back to older code, which can wipe out customizations and break multi-device setups. There are reports of spontaneous reboots and other hiccups, too.</p><p>The device maker is aware that the update hasn't exactly gone as planned, and notes that the rollbacks aren't intentional. It's not clear when everything will be straightened out; we've reached out to TiVo for more details. For now, viewers who've encountered rough spots in the new firmware will just have to sit tight.</p><p>Update: TiVo tells us that less than 200 boxes inadvertently received an older firmware update. The company is sending these units the right version "very soon."</p><p>[Image credit: Zatz Not Funny]</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/11/tivo-spring-update/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2014-04/rcn-tivo-update-way/">RCN TiVo Update On The Way</a> (Zatz Not Funny)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dqDDCdun5h9IE7Mf9bufoQNl9KC9M&authuser=0&ned=us">4 additional articles.</a></p>
