ah... it seems that this Extinction Level Event is targetting
older TiVos like my Series 3. The Roamios still have the

The Video on Demand menu has changed to
automatically launch the Netflix app. We apologize

Ah, it looks like YouTube is pulling the plug on an API used by older
devices. There are a lot of smart TV and BluRay players being locked out
too. TiVo doesn't want to update the software on the older boxes. I
think the main reason for not supporting v2 any more is that it doesn't
support ads.

Amazon is going to a streaming-only model, and won't allow downloading
of content any more.

This also means you can't download videos to your laptop to watch
offline either.
In theory, TiVo could update the S3, but they aren't interested in
supporting devices that old, and there are probably performance issues
related to the old hardware.
