Optimistic given VM inability to move things at a reasonable pace.

I agree, it really needs to be all or nothing otherwise it is too complicated for us to remember what channels will stream to the other box or not. This will affect how/what we record and watch potentially. However, the below channels are what are currently showing as the ones it will work for. Not a bad start at least as you can start to spread out your recording between boxes. I record quite a lot on some of those channels so still a big help for me. I need to get me a second TIVO to replace my old V+ box first mind. :o)

I'm connected by hard wired ethernet connections, so just plug each Tivo into the router. HD works fine.

[spiderplant]

Ethernet into a Netgear FS608 switch. No problems, including multiple simultaneous HD streams.

[muppetman11]

Yes! But not without problems. If you look for my posts on the forums you will see what I mean. It's working ok now but, quite frankly, there is nothing worth streaming. All the major channels are blocked from streaming. The big improvement is the ability to control and set recordings from the iPad. That works beautifully and is very welcome.

Yes I had my boxes seeing each other since November 2011 and it all worked first time (after my 2nd box had notified my first box that it was now activated).

The iPad app does not require your TiVO to be connected to your home network in order manage recordings. I believe it uses the same service as the website which communicates through Virgin Media's network.

Of course you could be talking about setting/controlling recordings via the "remote control" function of the app which would require you to be connected to your home network.
