| Tivo, Cable cards Well, I got in the Priority (not beta) for the Tivo new software on Premieres...and wow, it's fast.
According to Tivo, they will allow multi-room streaming between two Tivos starting in late Jan/early Feb. This makes the stupid copyright broadcast flag moot because it's just streaming, not transferring.
Not wanting to bother, I bit the bullet and bought a Tivo Premiere Elite. $499 (ouch) + $399 Lifetime...but I had $550 in Best Buy credits so it's not really that bad.
Now I have 2TB in HD space and 4 (4!) tuners.
Now I just have to go through the fun of scheduling an appointment. I still don't understand why I need a truck roll to snap in a card and to have it paired. Oh well... |

| I have two lifetime Premieres at home, one has 20.2, and the other still has 14.9 on it.
I like the snappiness of the 20.2, but I cant wait to start doing the multiroom streaming on them. |

Rochester, NH | if you got 20.2 before Monday AM, it should be enabled. If not, it will be enabled next Monday..unless we get lucky. |

Icedcorn, I have the premiere Elle also, and I love it!
It's killing me that this major software update came out while I'm out of town! I won't be able to give it a try for a while...
It's always taken a truck roll to install a cable card, at least with the new pricing structure it's free...
That is, there is no monthly rental fee. It'll still cost $40 for the truck roll. And you have to give the guy a check right then and there. I couldn't understand why they couldn't just add it to my bill... |

Rochester, NH | Make sure you email @tivodesign on twitter with your TSN to get the update sooner. Even if you're out of town they'll give you a priority upgrade. I opted for the Metrocast $3/month "service assurance" plan so I don't pay for truck rolls anymore. |
