So a variant of the web portal that TiVo had developed for their cable partners, like RCN, is now being made available to retail subscribers. And TiVo Online is looking pretty killer. Beyond the expected Season Pass OnePass configuration, recording management, and a highly polished guide, the tent pole feature is the ability to stream our DVR recordings and live content to Mac, PC, and possibly Chromebook (replacing the tired and archaic TiVoToGo, if not the infinitely valuable kmttg).
Sadly, TiVo is only allowing in-home laptop or computer streaming at this time while TiVo indicates all Roamio and Premiere models are supported… But I’ll go ahead and assume Premiere and lesser Roamios require purchase of the TiVo Stream accessory to make it happen, versus native Roamio Pro/Plus capabilities.
All we need now is that Fire TV or Roku app…
(Thanks Sam!)

I'm not at home and can't fully test... so let us know how it's working out. Very, very cool. This also helps set the stage for whatever TiVo Aereo device is in the works. Sad to see that new logo persist - bleh.
It is working really well - I am pretty impressed with it.
I hope they open up away from home streaming soon.
I didn't even realize that it supported online streaming when I sent you the email this morning! :) I just streamed a recently recorded program. It seems to work well. This is very cool.
