In an early preview of TiVo’s plans for The Cable Show this week in Chicago, TMCNet has posted information on two new set-top boxes so that you can be offered by cable operators RCN and Suddenlink. As suggested by recent surveys and forum posts , the Premiere Q is a quad-tuner DVR with multiroom streaming of as much as three HD feeds via MoCA or Ethernet, while the Preview is TiVo’s first box and not using a hard disk drive and serves as a consumer to the major box. Another revelation is news that an updated version of TiVo’s iPad app will include be capable of browse cable VOD , allowing users to choose it at the tablet after which “flick” it to their box where it starts playing. If the knowledge holds up the hot hardware seems competitive and modern enough, but we’re wondering if TiVo will continue to serve end users preferring to purchase equipment as opposed to lease and are watching for such things as the recent DirecTiVo or software updates that enhance performance at the Premiere and finish off its HD menu system.
