I guess the question is will it play an mkv file properly or will they lock it down.

Praying for 50 and 23.976hz output support and auto framerate. Don’t think any of their partners care about these though so not getting hopes up..

I am wondering why is TiVo putting this product out?
How does this fit into their business model? Doesn’t seem like you need TiVo subscription for it. It seems to be advertising slingtv more than TiVo.
Am I missing something here?

TiVo is dying a slow death (look at their share price over last 5 years)... they are trying new things to stem the bleeding. With more and more stuff being streamed less and less people need premium DVRs.

Not like I need yet another media player, but kinda intrigued, so ordered one to try out. Should have it Saturday.

We have YouShop by our national mail carrier that gives you a fake US address that then forwards on.
Aussie must have something similiar?
I just brought a 2nd MiBox as well - bugger
Half my Samsung TV remote buttons (eg stop) don't work with CEC on Mibox - it's rather annoying.

I've been watching for this release also.
I agree that seems to be a great option for cheap hardware.
Any thoughts on whether or not our kodi media might get integrated into the tivo universe for wife approved TV show searching.
I currently use kodi because all my sources get scraped from my recordings (HDHomeRun & playon, I don't care for commercials) where she can easily find what she wants without going to each app and service, she constantly forgets where each show lives.
I'd certainly welcome any feedback you find with your boxes you get this weekend, waiting for mine.

Strange, but I have no desire to purchase one........ Perhaps the therapy is working........... Curious if it will play the VC-1 video codec, since it is an Amlogic based SoC. Also, curious if it passes through any of the HD audio codecs natively.
