TiVo Premiere update coming with improved Netflix app, HD wishlists (updated)

TiVo's Premiere Fall Updates are about to roll out, and according to Zatz Not Funny, it'll bring some joy to streaming video users. The biggest change for most Premiere 4 or XL4/Elite owners will be an updated Netflix app that should be less painful to use, along with HD wishlists, a dynamic tuner allocation and numerous bug fixes. A UI change that brings Roamio's new fonts and colors to Premiere devices is reportedly not in the cards until next year, however. The update will arrive in phases, as usual, but you can move closer to the front of the line by hitting TiVo's priority update request.

Update: We're told that two tuner models will also get the Fall Update, though dynamic tuner allocation may not be supported on those models if TiVo Mini extenders remain restricted.
