Is that right, it is really 1.3.0?  That's *ANCIENT*!  Like,

 I found a way on Tivo's website to force updating, but when I tell the 
box to call in, it always fails, and does "housekeeping" instead. Which 
is strange, because it calls in fine during Guided Setup, or on a Test 
Call. I'm wondering if instead of the local number I need to try to get 
the 800 number back in there. Didn't have time to try it today. Any 
thoughts? I'll see if I can find anything 
else.
