Is this the latest model that should now allow users to stream when away from home network (a la Slingbox)?

TiVo has just started a partial rollout of the update on the Stream that allows out of home streaming. It should be released to all Streams soon, probably by the new year. Still no firm date on when streaming to android will be supported.

Yes, it allows out if home streaming, but only if the content provider allows it. The major networks (ABC,CBS,NBC,and Fox), Viacom (Comedy Central, MTV), and Discovery (TLC, Science) all BLOCK streaming, so the TiVo stream does not stream or allow the transfer of shows to another device.

Slingbox not required. It works with Apple devices using the free app. And it now supports streaming away from home. Wifi is recommended to avoid high data usage. Shows can be downloaded for offline viewing as well.

There is only one version of the Tivo Stream. The feature is currently available on the new Tivo Roamio Line and has not been released on the Premier DVR line. I am awaiting this functionality with my Tivo Premier.

Yes, with a TiVo Roamio OTA the TiVo Stream works great in or outside the house. After installing the TiVo app on your iOS device (iPhone or iPad), during the setup process (Settings --> Setup) make sure to select "Set up in-home streaming" and "Set up out-of-home streaming". Be sure to setup out-of-home streaming while your device is connected to your home network (i.e. the network to which the TiVo Stream is connected).I like streaming with the TiVo Stream using my computer by accessing TiVo Online in a web browser but the app is much better in quality and dependability. I haven't had any trouble with streaming broadcast network shows (e.g. from CBS). Yes, with a TiVo Roamio OTA the TiVo Stream works great in or outside the house.

This is the latest model, however, you cannot stream when away from your home network. Only the newest TiVo Roamio DVR's let you stream outside of your home network, those DVR's do not require the separate Stream box. TiVo is saying that outside network streaming coming to this device in a software update. You can download shows to a device to watch once you leave your home network.

I use mine with sling box all the time. Not sure what platform you want to use but, I would guess it should. Also it will depend on your connection.Jack

So i take it that this article- http://i.gizmodo.com/391530/new-dish-network-722s-hd-dvr-has-built+in-slingbox-and-slingcatcher is inaccurate in saying that the 722 has a built-in box/clip+sling/catcher? It must be deceitful since even the 922 has only the slingbox, and none of the rest yet.

Yes...it's the only way to get High Def to the Sling boxes without HDCP protocol issues like you get using HDMI

In general Slingbox is a peer to peer (point to point) connection such than only one connection is allowed. Sling does not stream to the internet, but streams only from point A to point B. So only one device at a time can use the Sling connection. That device may be in the next room or hundreds of miles away.

No, remember this device streams from an existing source, I have mine connected to a cable box

Thats an interesting question :) I wont comment on the legalities, but be aware there might be legal issues. I don't see why it couldn't work though, assuming that your friend in Mexico has a strong internet connection. There also may be authentication issues with slingbox. They require you to validate with their site before you log in. They may see a foreign network and not allow you to sign in. The lag would also be bad. Right now if I want to change channels or pause a show, it takes a few seconds for the actual command to filter back to me. This is because I am a couple seconds behind what is actually being shown in my living room. I imagine it would be worse in Mexico, due to the distance. But other than that, I can think of no reason it wouldn't work. Also be aware that slinbox is a bandwidth hog by its very nature, so you and your friend would both want unlimited bandwidth internet plans.

I don't think it will stream live TV, only movies, you have to have some provider of live tv on the other end with a sling box connected to cable or satellite.

No, it has the capability to download and use most of the popular streaming apps

Sling boxes are designed to work with Dish Network receivers (verified by manufacturer) and will not work for internet connection. I tried it, it will not work for internet connection through home electrical wiring with or without another Sling box. Some other devices may work but not for anything other than some Dish television features.

The slingbox gives you control of your own TV wherever you are. You can directly watch you own TV, change channels, set the DRV... anything you can do from home.. with a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop

I don't have a way of measuring, but the Slingbox streaming was much better when wired than when attached via a wireless network. Bottom line is it works great.

I have not enabled this feature but I saw this option in the configuration. It should not be a problem. Mine works great, once I changed the MTU to 1492, I have not had the slightest problem with this unit doing streaming TV, my laptop, phones, and tablets.

no its not. only good for 2.4. if you have 2.5 and trying to stream do QOS for the device thats streaming. that way you dont have to worry. hope this helps

Thanks! I curretly have a 3 year old blackjack with AT&T.; Unlimited media and 200 text messages for 19.99. I've been able to tether (via bluetooth I might add) and stream my slingbox from day 1. I am looking at a new phone, but it seems the only way to keep the media plan I have is to buy an unlocked plan. This information is very helpful.

Yes. Netflix, Hulu, Xfinity, CinemaNow, VUDU all work plus I have an excellent wireless signal but my tv is just a few feet away from my modem and router

I know it supports the Amazon system, Netflix, and I believe it also supports Red Box streaming, but I wouldn't swear to it. Seems to work well, but a trick I have learned is if you have a problem with discs not loading correctly or any function not working, unplug the unit then plug it back in and it seems to reprogram it to function good as new. Strange, but it relies heavily on being controlled by the remote, and it will occasionally seem to be confused on the function. By unplugging it this seems to solve the issue and it hasn't been a problem as a result. I have it plugged into a rack system with many other stereo and video components so that might be what is causing it.
