Following this sensible suggestion, I tested whether my post-90-day configuration support still included posting issues via the Netgear support site, and opened a ticket about this issue.
Now that I've received a response from a 2nd Level Tech Support person with requests for action on my part, I am trying to decide whether or not to bother continuing the process. The response shows zero awareness of the fact that this issue is shared by multiple users and had a distinct starting point which logically indicates a change in the way Tivo indicates KUID. I am asked to start the process with an OS reinstall, then to open my system for remote access by Netgear support.
I have the feeling that they already have enough test cases to study in order to deliver a fix. In fact, I suspect a single in-house Tivo Premiere would give them all the info they need.
I am reluctant to do an OS reinstall that I think is useless and could lead to new issues. Maybe I will just wait for the fix to come down the line.
