I am looking to maybe try and do some sort of out-of-home streaming of live channels (I am with Comcast). I have a 4-tuner Premiere so the Stream is an option. From my understanding though, you have to basically initiate a recording first on the TiVo in order to get it to your iOS device (via the Stream). This sounds like simple channel changing outside of the home would be a challenge. Also, since I am with Comcast and they flag premium content, my understanding is that I wouldn't be able to live stream my HBO channels/content either with a stream (since it more or less treats it as MRV content).
I have also looked at some other products; Belkin, Vulkano and Slingbox seem to be the main ones out there right now, but there may be others I am not aware of. I have a non-subscribed series 3 TiVo HD (w/ a cable card) that I could dedicate it's outputs to one of these other devices. I realize I would only be able to watch live channels & REW/FF. No access to recorded material (networked or local) and no programming information, but that is ok for me for now. I also could attach it to a 2-tuner Premiere that is located in a basement guest bedroom that isn't usually occupied so that wouldn't affect anyone else while trying to stream something outside of the home.
Which seems to be the best these days? Adv or disadv? Or any other thoughts on any of the options listed in the poll?
