said by BiggA:The info about what TiVos support what is available on the internet.
Acutally I had chance to watch the video, when I saw the post initially I was at work.
What the TiVO rep is talking about is MoCA sharing of recordings from the DVR to a Mini or another DVR. He seems to be phrasing it pretty poorly. It seems to be he's just describing sharing recordings from Premiere to Premiere DVR, something TiVo has done for a while, they call it Multi-Room Streaming.
What he's saying is that via MoCA or traditional Ethernet the raw recording is being sent over a wired connection, it has not been recompressed into some other codec or resolution for streaming (that would be what the TiVo Stream is for).

www.tivo.com/mytivo/howt ··· oca.htmlI don't even know why he brought it up, when streaming recordings TiVo-to-TiVo it has always worked that way, and always required some form of a hardwired connection, it's not like it's a new thing.
I think since this is a MoCA Alliance presentation and aimed at custom home theater installers he says it to basically support the fact that MoCA is a great way to hardwire things without running Ethernet cables. And because it's a robust hardwired connection there is no recompression needed to send recordings from TiVo to TiVo.
Sheesh, after that time index Mike linked to he uses a strange mixed metaphor. He keeps going on about MPEG4 and how TV providers use it, as if the TiVo has any control over that. He's confusing the recordings from the cable channel itself (which could be in MPEG2 or MPEG4 or in HD or in SD depending on channel that was recorded and the MSO) and the home networking streaming technology to stream those recordings.
