But this thread is about Multi Room Streaming (playing shows recorded on one TiVo on to another TiVo across the network), not TV Anywhere which indeed is another pile of poo!

Which is dirt of the point I was making that streaming from one device to another is nobbled for lots of devices not just tivo

But Tivo to Tivo streaming is different. With Tivo to Tivo streaming, it has to be watched within the premises that the Tivo is registered to. With TV anywhere, you could lend your ipad to a friend who is a non VM customer and he could watch it at his house or anywhere else that he wants.

You can see why there could be more restrictions for TV anywhere, but there is no sane reason at all for any restrictions on MRS.

Spot on PB, it's no different to swapping TiVo's about in your house to watch programmes recorded on one particular one.

Agree that this is ridiculous. I can watch a show I've recorded on my Tivo on an ipad anywhere in my house, but not on another Tivo.

They could fix this quite easily. Implement an easy way to sync series links between Tivos, probably using TV Anywhere. Secondly when you press record on one Tivo it could ask you whether you want it to record on your other Tivo as well.

This already happens when you use the VM TV Guide App, when you set something to record it records on both your Tivos, so it should be easy to do. Eventually your recordings would be in sync and there would be no need for streaming.

So you were lying in your first statement?

Changing it to 'thought you could' doesn't make your initial lie any different.

Come on admit it - you don't even have one TiVo far less the minimum two that you imply in your first post.

I don't own an Ipad. I assumed you could do that, I was overestimating the usefulness of the TV Anywhere app. Irrelevant, but I should have prefixed my statement with "In theory, if I had an ipad I believe". Then you could have corrected me.

My idea would still work though.
