TiVo refreshes lineup with 6-tuner Roamio DVRs

[Mr Tony]

I dont have any streaming services but I see it listed on my Series 3 so figured the Roamio also had it

Got our tivo activated. Just waiting for it to finish so that the streaming services show up.

It's too bad Tivo doesn't make an On Demand app for FiOS like they do for Comcast's Infinity service. Of course, Tivo does have a DVR contract with Comast...don't think they do with Verizon. We have Comcast because it's so much cheaper than FiOS with the discounts...although one of our DVRs is OTA only.

The cable company on demand is not as useful any more with AppleTV/Roku/Amazon boxes that have all the on demand apps that give you the same programs.

Verizon's VOD wasn't bad. It did allow us to catch up on a few shows.

The Tivo is night and day better than the Verizon DVR. Very fast menus.

I see that Suddenlink offers the Q four tuner and the technician said that they are going to have the J six tuner available in a few months. They have a device like a Joey (mini) on both of these models to access the primary Tivo in a separate bedroom using moca. The mini uses a tuner off the main Tivo unit.

Cableone also advertises that they have TiVos and minis.

The newest update is rolling out slowly the Spring update (info from tivocommunity.com):

Here are some of the changes:
- addressed issues where customers were seeing V112 errors when trying to stream between boxes
- improved interaction with HDMI, and fixed cases where TiVo Mini was rebooting due to HDMI issues
- improvements to Netflix stability
- improvements to Roamio WiFi connectivity
- fixed a network flakiness issue for wired Ethernet Roamio boxes that had previously been connected to WiFi
- turned off the troublesome "overlapping recordings" behavior
- reduced the cases where a black screen appeared after watching a video
- YouTube and Opera Store Apps should now work with all video resolutions (not just 720p and greater)
- created a new V311 error message when an app requires 720p support, and the box has that resolution disabled
- support for playing cable video on demand on a DVR and a Mini simultaneously (or 2 Minis simultaneously) *if* the cable company's configuration supports it
- improved handling and messaging of C133 errors, and added a reference to our new site for updates related to outages: http://status.tivo.com
- VOD and apps can now be launched in C133 mode
- new "Default Recording Options" screen inside Settings > Recording to set your preferred "Keep at most", New/Reruns settings, and padding for new Season Passes and WishLists.
