Oh no
I have a couple of questions about a Roamio Plus and Tivo mini combo (I notice you can do the 'whole house' thing for $15/mo total currently).

I'm thinking of having a Roamio Plus in the living room, connected to both cable and wired Ethernet. The minis would be in other rooms with only a cable connection.

1) That's all I'd need, right? No Moca adapter boxes or anything?

2) With a setup like that, could you run an app like Netflix or Amazon Video in two or more rooms simultaneously? As in, watch one movie on Netflix in one room, and another movie on Netflix in another?

Oh no
Thanks, I was wondering if the Mini actually was running a local app or "streaming" the app from the Roamio.

Does this mean we can stream all of our content from a computer to our TiVos when this comes out?
Yep, as long as your computer is running the Plex server.

You can do this now for video with something like PyTivo, too. But without the swank Plex interface.

Oh no
So, uh, did they do away with the $150/yr plan for Roamios? Mine runs out next month, and it no longer seems to be an option.

Oh no

I'm not great at math but my estimate is that if you are willing/able to keep your Tivo for more than 4 years, that's a good deal. Otherwise not.
Correct. A (500GB) Bolt regularly costs $300 and comes with one year of service. Service costs $150/yr or $599 for lifetime.

Oh no
My Roamio and Mini UI look exactly the same as they have for months.

Oh no
For info, it's on the Roamio too.
