TiVoToGo and Multiroom Viewing Confirmed for HD Units

TiVo is trying its best to compete with Media Centers. They just might sway a few more users if it wasn’t a long wait for each new feature to come out. Of course with the amount of time we wait for features with MS, I shouldn’t speak to loudly :). Rant aside, the new TiVo HD units can expect to get multi-room viewing and 2go here in short order.

Zatz

Why pre-announce? (TiVo’s PR agency directed me to Bob’s post.) Perhaps to give folks hope and to tweak holiday sales. Perhaps to reveal the information on their own terms given past beta leaks. Regardless of the rationale, this is very good news. Hopefully they’ll release it as planned in November and transferring HD content won’t be as slow as I fear. And speaking of leaks, I suspect official eSATA support will land on the Series3/HD at the same time, if not sooner – though I haven’t been able to confirm that TiVo will be selling branded external drives.
