New Mini 4k/wireless

where is the 4k mini ?

 

Well, Ira Bahr did say "the first half" of this year--5 months to go . . . .

Drop a line to TiVo about your plans--will make its day.

 

I gave up waiting and bought another mini.

 

I am more interested in the "wireless" part. I have a mini on my porch and powerline and WiFi work 90% of the time, but the other 10% is very frustrating. I just bought a Roku stick and tried the Comcast beta app. Works like a charm for live TV and stuff recorded on my X1 box. Why can't TiVo do it?

 

Unlike streaming services, the Mini gets a quality stream from the base unit. TiVo wisely chose to make it wired ethernet only, knowing that most people's wireless is spotty and crappy.

I've been using a powerline pair to feed a Mini in the basement guest room, and it's been 100% reliable, even though my wiring is mostly from the mid-1930's.

 

I think, the last that was heard:

20 Questions with Ira Bahr - TiVo's Chief Marketing Officer

9 months ago, for the first half of this year.

 

I am not sure where "wireless" came into the discussion, "4K" yes, "wireless" no. It is possible but it would be a change of course for Tivo to start supporting wireless on the minis.

 

In that same Q and A, Ira Bahr said no as to wireless, for fidelity reasons.

 

Has anybody heard any updates?

 

Trademarks for "Tivo Bolt Vox" and "Tivo Mini Vox" were applied for in April, and a photo of a remote with a voice button is out there, implying the Mini is possibly getting closer and voice support will be one of its features.

 

Yes, there will be a voice remote. I don't know the ETA however.

 

I too am waiting on the 4K mini, will buy as soon as it is available.

 

I will put up my mini on ebay for 4k.......be back real soon with link.

 

I need two so I'm waiting...
