TiVo Premieres Get Multi-Room Streaming and More in New Update

You'll also find user interface tweaks and search improvements across the board.

Some lucky users have had the latest update to the TiVo Premiere for a while, but they can't lord it over you anymore - the update has gone live for all TiVo users.

Update 20.2 brings plenty to the table for Premiere, Premiere XL and Premiere Elite boxes, but first and foremost is a nice facelift. Both the Grid Guide and Live Guide are finally in HD. They now also feature a picture-in-picture view of the show you're watching in the upper right hand corner. Search has also been improved and now includes selections from Netflix, Amazon, Blockbuster and Hulu Plus.

The really big news though is the option of multi-room streaming, which TiVo doesn't really highlight as much as they should. If you have two Premiere boxes on the same network, you can stream a show directly from one to the other - no need to transfer.

TiVo's Multi-Room DVR Debuts Through RCN

It starts rolling out in Washington D.C. and will move forward from there.

The TiVo Premiere Q and TiVo Preview are the result of quite a bit of work and should be causing a great deal of excitement for those that have access. The combination of the two allows for whole-home enjoyment of a single DVR, with full functionality to each room.

For $29.99 a month, RCN customers can get a Premiere Q and a Preview. The Premiere is the more traditional of the two units - it works just like any other TiVo. The Preview goes elsewhere in your house and allows you access to content from the Premiere.

At launch, the Preview will lack a bit of functionality, like pausing live TV, rewinding and fast fowarding. That should all be ready to go in early 2012, according to RCN.
