Does the Plus unit have the same capability as a Slingbox? I need to stream to Android or PC devices in another location

The out of home feature was enabled this week and is actually pretty fantastic. Works with both live TV and recorded programs, and also allows you to manage your TiVo from remote places. Sadly, it does not work on Android or PC's, but works very well with the iOS devices.

It now has the ability to stream outside your home network but only iOS devices are supported. It also has heavy restrictions on remote streaming due to copyright restrictions. For example, if you plan to stream your hometown baseball games while travelling on the road, it will not let you. I ended up putting a Slingbox 350 in between the Roamio Plus and the TV, using component connections. The Web Slingplayer supports the Roamio Plus remote, so I could watch recorded baseball games remotely while travelling on the road.

I have a Roamio Plus and have been able to stream to my Android devices. It works on Wi-Fi (in my case with MoCA) and is best on the same subnet. I have mine on a different subnet and it works acceptably. I can also stream over the Cellular Network that I use.

No, you currently can ONLY stream to your mobile devices on the same network; however, TiVo is working on providing that capability.

It's a feature they say is "coming soon." Right now you can only stream at home on the same network...but you can download shows to go....

According to TiVo, they are now supporting streaming via Android to non-AMD and non-Intel based devices. This means the Samsung Galaxy series (ARM) and Asus Transformer series (NVIDEA) should work. Please upvote this answer since this information is more current than the others

You can stream in your own home (on your network) For iOS devices only as of now. The out-of-house feature was enabled as of a few days ago, but is also currently only for iOS devices.

Yes it does, but the picture quality is not as good as using Slingbox! I have both and if I want to watch remotely I will always Sling. Now if you want to download and watch a show (that is not copy protected) then I'll use the Tivo app to download the show to my iPad and watch anywhere, and you don't have to worry about being on a network. Great for watching shows on a plane.

No. It will only scream to iOS devices. And at this time it will only stream in the home network not outside the home network.

No - however they have just started selling the slingbox adapted for the UK (including Freeview) - it seems to be availale via Dixons, Currys and PC World though. Expensive (as usual we in the UK get ripped off when kit arrives here from the US) at almost £200.

The sling box comes with the wires that need to be connected to your cable box. And the software downloaded on what ever devices ur going to be viewing on from anywhere

We are using PlayOn which is now integrated with Roku.It streams from a NAS unit on our network.Claimed to be a beta implementation but works flawlessly for us.

Yes, you do have to purchase the app for your tablet and phone in order to watch your home tv on them. It's worth it though. The Sling Box is great! I watch sports, tv shows, dvr recordings, etc when I'm at the gym and out of town. I know it's an expensive app, but the app and sling box are great.

Hi Teresa. The short answer is yes. The Slingbox allows your computer to act as a tv and remote for the video signal you attach to it. So if your cable box, satellite box, or (as in my case) TiVo is attached to the Slingbox, your computer will control the signal just as if you were sitting in the room. So if I am watching the TiVo at home and my wife logs on to the Slingbox with her computer, it is as if two people with two remote controls are in the same room! She changes the channel and I change it back! The solution to this, if it's feasible for you, is to have a separate source for your Slingbox. If you get a separate cable box or satellite box and attach it to the Slingbox there will be no competition for its services. Hope this helps, WhiteHeat

Since I don't have a sling box, I'm not sure. However, hooking it up to my computer and then to other USB supported pieces of equipment; it worked fine.

not sure what you are asking here.if you mean could you use a streaming box from those services or a HTPC, jack it into the reciever and be golden, then 100% yesdoes it hook into the internet and stream those services itself, then no

Apple TV, or what I do when I am in a hotel and my Apple TV is not available is, use a dongle that goes from my iPad with an HDMI out. Launch the SlingBox app and watch it on the hotel TV.

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

I am not 100% certain, but I believe the slingbox cannot do that (all by itself) as it is geared toward doing the opposite (ie: Routing the input from your TV and routing it to your PC or mobile device). However, Netflix is available directly for many low cost devices that can connect to a TV. For example a Roku can receive Netflix and output to a TV and (a refurbished Roku 2 XS can be purchased for about $35 to $50. The Roku 2 XS does upto 1080p, has builtin wifi and has output to HDMI as well as (old style Red,White,Yellow) RCA+composite outputs for older TVs. For older TVs using the RCA+Composite the output would be standard definition. Roku requires a credit card for registration but has no annual fee (except for the fee you already would be paying to netflix). You can even remove the CC number from Roku's site once the Roku has been registered. For a lower max resolution (720p) option (that still supports legacy TVs via RCA+composite as well as HDMI) take a look at the Roku LT, which often sells for about $40 new on Amazon).

No, it does't. Video streaming is done via a cable to a zone(it has three), or you can stream from pc, phone, tablet to the receiver via network or USB port.

It'll support the TV it is connected to and 1 other device at a single time. Unfortunately if you are looking, for example, to watch on your computer at the airport while your wife is on her iPhone at the Dr's office, that will not work. One device can stream from the account/ slingbox at a time.

No. It does not have that app as of yet. You will need an internet streaming device like roku, Apple TV, wii etc.
