Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
But sits only been officially unveiled and shown off today after FCC approval. I wonder if the specs on this are better then the Cisco box? and if this runs really fast I wonder will it be due to a new code drop or specs?

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 2
There is a lot of speculation in that article. Main reason the Samsung V+HD boxes are better in performance is that there is about 3 years difference in technology between them.
The TiVo boxes I expect will be pretty much identical in performance, design and technology

Good read?

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/08/11 -- TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), a leader in advanced television services and personal video recorders (PVRs), and Virgin Media Inc. (NASDAQ: VMED) (LSE: VMED), the UK's leading digital entertainment provider, today announced details of a key new feature coming to their next-generation connected TV offering which will allow customers to take control of the TiVo powered service through a cutting-edge iPad companion app. The feature will be made available as part of the first major software update for the system and is designed to build on the user experience of the award-winning service. Virgin Media plans to roll-out the software update, which will feature the companion app as well as other new features to be announced, in the coming months.
The TiVo companion app will allow Virgin Media customers to use their Apple iPads to interact directly with their TiVo service and extend their viewing experience beyond the remote control. After installing the free TiVo companion app, users can interact with the elegant, intuitive TiVo user interface directly on their iPads to search across Virgin Media's content, including the TV Guide and thousands of hours of content available through its video on demand library, without interrupting what they are already watching on TV. With just a couple of swipes on the iPad user can immediately and seamlessly begin viewing the content they have discovered via their TiVo app right on their TV.

I hope you are joking. The box will look and perform in exactly the same way, just the guts of th box will be different.

I said that because the V box and V+HD boxes are different in their size and shape.
If nothing elese my current V+HD Samsung box is great so with a bit of luck the TiVo box will be just a quick.

Yes I hope that they fetch it out on other platforms as well. This bit has got me thinking from the first link, Could they be getting ready so that you are able to stream from one box to the other? Or could it be me reading in to it?
