 @danluu Very very early in the history of TiVo, they put out an update and bricked the boxes. Fortunately there were not a lot out there (hundreds?) and all in the Bay Area. So they ended up going to every house and fixing them. Needless to say, that never happened again. Also, that was decades ago. There’s really no excuse now. 2 comments
@nazgul @danluu A similar thing happened recently in Europe, where an update pushed to some in-home built-in appliances was for the wrong type of device, and required an onsite visit to reprogram the bricked units. The important question of course is why the units even had the proper keys/certs to verify an update intended for a different type of device in the first place. |
