TiVo : Streaming?

[jambul]

I do not see the point in having the facility to watch what you have recorded on your Tivo on a second one in another room when it does not work. All but one of the programs that have been recorded come up with a message saying that they are not licenced to play it. It's a great idea if it worked but it doesn't. Why have Virgin introduced such a flawed system?

Blame the broadcasters who are still living in the dark ages, they won't permit their precious shows from being streamed to another box without a new carriage agreement being signed with VM

To be fair though none of VM's competitors have a similar product currently available to their customer bases I'm sure sooner rather than later this situation will change and comparisons can begin to be made which in turn should help improve the product for customers of all platforms.

I understand that they are not allowed to do so because of the restrictions, however, I would have thought that they would have sorted this out before introducing it. It is like putting films on a Blu Ray disc before there is a player to play them on, its pointless. As I have said, it is a great idea but it does not work.

[OLD BOY]

Yes, but at least it's futureproof!

[passingbat]

And why don't OFCOM do something useful and tell the broadcaster that what they are doing regarding restricting Tivo to Tivo streaming defies all basic common sense and logic and to lift the restrictions.

[Joedm45]

Completely agree there is no logic in this. Does it really matter if you watch a show in the living room or bedroom?

If the TV show was recorded onto DVD then you can take it anywhere you want to watch it and the powers that be would be none the wiser

Are you able to stream recordings from newly acquired channels like France 24 and Vintage TV ?

Both are available for MRS but don't seem available on TVA.

I think spiderplant meant that when the channels were first launched the launched with multiroom streaming enabled.

The full channel list can be found here: http://my.virginmedia.com/discover/t...s.snippet.html

Still poor, we need a lot more channels in the 101-199 range, not one single one so far!

[HDFootyMan]

No interest whatsoever in streaming the currently available channels.

[DaMac]

My tv will let me flick what I'm watching on to my iPad for me to take for instance into the kitchen with me or the bathroom... But this is the same, none of the channels you would actually want to watch on freesat are enabled.
