I'm looking and haven't seen it - will the Premier support HME and sharing content between it and other Premiers? What about S3s or HDs?

Yes it will have the same show-sharing features that the S3/HD units have now. They can share HD among Premiers, HD's, and S3's. They can also share SD content with S2s.

Thanks - but just curious how you know this? Is there a FAQ or other thing that describes it? Not that I doubt the veracity of you statements I just wondered what resource I have missed.

On this page:
http://www.tivo.com/products/tivo-premiere/premiere-questions.html#tab

There is a Questions tab at the bottom. Under Technical Questions there is a question/answer:
Does multi-room viewing work with TiVo Premiere and other TiVo platforms?
-Yes. Subscribers can enjoy multi-room viewing between networked TiVo DVRs
-You cannot multi-room view HD content between a TiVo Premiere, Premiere XL, Series3, TiVo HD, or XL and a Series2 DVR, since Series2 DVRs are not capable of playing back HD content
-You can multi-room view HD content between Premiere, Premiere XL, Series3, TiVo HD, or XL

Well, there are unreleased units connecting to an HME game of mine via apps.tv, so yeah, I can vouch for that part.

Thanks! Silly me I was looking for something like HME or sharing, not 'multi-room viewing'. I have to work on my marketing-speak decoding skillz.
