Tivo removed Video Podcasts from Tivo service

Has anyone heard why Tivo removed Video podcasts from the Tivo service ? I have 3 Season passes (One passes) setup for 3 video podcasts, and when I noticed it wasn't downloading the new shows, I sent an email to Tivo and received the following response:





Hello Kevin,



I am following up on your concern below.



As of March 26th 2015, Video Podcasts have been removed from TiVo and are in the process of being removed from the TiVo Service. Existing MPEG4 feeds that were previously available under Video Podcasts are being transitioned and gradually being made available through Web Video Hotlists. Please note, however, that Web Video Hotlists do not currently show up as Streaming options in a OnePass setup either.



Though Download Manager is still available under Find TV & Movies, no new content will be downloaded as the feeds have now been removed from the TiVo Service.



I loved the ability to have the Tivo download the podcasts. Such a shame.



I truly apologize for this change that has affected your user experience and your concern has been passed along to the respective team.







Best Regards,

XXXXXXXXXXXX
