netflix and other services gone from sd menus

This happened within the past couple months (before this post).
Note: this is primarily if you only use the SD Menus setup on TiVo Premiere.

Video on Demand was replaced which is now just Xfinity On Demand.
I think Hulu Plus is under another menu but YouTube is also gone.

I only tried this and happened by "happy" accident.
If you own a smartphone or tablet this will work, without having to change to HD menus. I only have Android devices so I don't know how or if you might do it with IOS devices.

So you just load up Netflix or whatever on your device and then tap the (I'm not exactly sure what the icon is called) "Connect to device" and select your corresponding TiVo DVR and...voila! It should then appear on your TiVo, you will be able to navigate with either your TiVo remote or Android/IOS device.

This is a decent workaround, but I wish it was still the way it was before.
This should work with other apps that were previously available, I only tried Netflix thus far.

I hope that helps anyone who was disappointed to see certain streaming apps gone from the SD menus.

FYI, I think they still work this alternate way because the apps are still on there but they're not directly accessible through SD menus.
