I would like my Tivo Bolt+ to be able to access my slingbox in another state so I can watch local sports on my main TV. I don't want to have to use the source button to switch HDMI ports to connect my tablet or laptop. We should be able to do it directly from the Tivo. The same for showtime, startz, etc. We should be able to get those apps on the Tivo box for a straightforward experience. thanks

Thanks for that link.
