i just talked to a CSR a couple weeks ago, and they told me they have no plans in the near future to bring MRS to the standard or xl premieres. they did say however, that an update is coming in a week or two that will address a lot of the HDUI problems. I'm with you, i REALLY want MRS on my premieres.

That's a little depressing, but thank you very much for responding. Seems weird to limit to 4 tuner boxes. You'd have to buy 8 tuners just to be able to stream. Why can't they just charge more for the streaming feature itself and let you use it on all boxes clearly capable of handling it? I don't even need 4 tuners, much less 8.
@aadam101, they did say they would bring it to the premiere elite. I do realize 1st tier CSRs can be iffy, but somehow I find it credible (if not rational) they would withhold MRS from standard and xl.
I have a series 2 now, and MRS would be enough to get me to buy 2 premieres, and pay for 2 subscriptions I imagine are more expensive even with the discount than my series 2 sub is and would probably go on for several years. If I can't get MRS, I'm probably going to be looking for non-Tivo options to do the same thing (uverse? yuck). Why don't you want my money TiVo?
With regard to transfer based MRV, do you have to wait for the entire program to transfer before you can begin watching it? Like you said, MRS would be wonderful, but perhaps if I could start watching analog shows in the other room within a couple of minutes of deciding to, one premiere might be worth the cost. Edit: hmm, did find a faq at an aussie tivo site that said you could watch during the transfer, not 100% sure my series 2 would do that yet.

Thank you very much
I'm investigating my wired networking options as we speak. Wireless in my area is pretty heavily saturated, I'm surrounded. If powerline isn't better than when I last read about it years and years ago, I'll just run ethernet through the attic.I only have analog cable, and can live without MRV on my ATSC for now. If TiVo follows through on MRS, I'll grab a second premiere down the line and kill multiple birds with one stone.
That was my youtube video. Unfortunately I can't MRS at the present time.
It was removed a few days after I made the video. I'm looking forward to its return when 14.9 is released in the next week or so.
In the next week? That seems optimistic.That was my youtube video. Unfortunately I can't MRS at the present time.
Hope so..
Seems to me everyone here is discussing them in their appropriate context, though I didn't know all the shorthand when I made the thread. Thanks for chiming in.
Optimism is goodBalzer said:
Not good enough for me to buy a second premiere early, but good. 1 - 15 of 15 Posts
