(Preferred TV can push to other TV, In record plus, the 'preferred' TV could not send a recording to the other TV even if it was not in use. Now it can. For example, I have TV2 setup as the 'preferred' TV under Record Plus, so when I set up a recording from TV1, it automatically records on TV2. If TV2 wanted to setup a recording it would record on TV2 so they had to watch what they were recording. Now TV2 can 'push' the recording to TV1 if it is not in use.)¹
