Flawless Streaming
Flawless Streaming to multiple devices. Works better than expected. I use this to stream live shows to multiple iPads and iPhones in a multi-room dwelling in a highrise building with no issues whatsoever. The Stream is connected to an access point on my wifi network nowhere near a tivo box. Two Tivos (1 premiere and 1 Quad) are also connected to access points in other rooms (using ethernet) and essentially trick the units into thinking they are on a wired network. I highly recommend the Stream for those that travel for a living as I do and want to take their shows with them. That is actually the main reason I bought the Stream. I watch shows at airports, on the plane as well as hotels. Downloads to devices quickly and it works just as your Tivo at home with all the familiar features like 30 second advance etc... Overall I love this product and would recommend it to others.

Great Product But Still Working Out Bugs
The Tivo Stream is a product that was long overdue when it was finally released by Tivo. Setup was a bit tricky because my devices would see the Tivo Stream one minute and not the next. I rebooted my Tivo Premiere several times and followed other instructions but replacing the router finally fixed this problem. The Tivo Stream won't stream or download products from any of my Tivo units except the Tivo Premiere which limits its functionality. It also won't stream to my PC which is another limitation but overall I really like the ability to transfer directly from the Tivo to my iPad without having to go through the process of using Tivo Desktop and then converting and loading onto the iPad. The functionality of the downloads on the iPad is also just like having my Tivo unit connected to a television. Overall, even with the limitations, I'm very pleased.

Very cool once it's working...
Now that my Stream is working, I LOVE it. The app is beautiful (although it's only for iOS -- no Android support!). Everything works as it should, and I use it often, both at home and on the go. SETUP WAS A BEAR! I've setup two of these now (one for me and one for my parents), and both were a nightmare. They both came with outdated software and firmware that had to be updated through and obscure menu in the app. Following the update, I had to not only force restart the boxes multiple times, but also uplug my routers to basically "reset" my home network. Nothing about any of this in the instructions (or on-screen), so I'm sure a lot of people are stumped when the thing doesn't work out of the box.
