What function(s) does the TiVo Whole Home Bundle have that the TiVo Premiere does not?
In addition to all of the great existing TiVo Premiere functions, you will be able to enjoy the following on your TiVo Whole Home Bundle set top box:
The TiVo Whole Home Bundle comes with 1 HD TiVo Preview set top box for multiple-room DVR capabilities; take the TiVo experience with you to any room in your home!
Record or download shows on the TiVo Whole Home Bundle and stream them to any TiVo Preview set top box in your home.
Begin watching your recorded programming in one room and finish in another.
A quad tuner – watch live TV while recording up to additional 3 programs at once. Or, record four programs while viewing your recorded program!
Search and browse shows on your TiVo Whole Home Bundle set top box.
The TiVo Whole Home Bundle has a larger hard drive than the Premiere: 500 GB. It can record up to 76 hours of HD programming or 656 hours of standard definition.
Note: RCN TiVo Whole Home Bundle requires RCN internet service. Actual hours of programming will vary based on the Bit-Rates in which your programming is recorded at.
Can I keep my TiVo Premiere and enjoy multi-room DVR capabilities?
Yes! You can keep your Premiere and add a TiVo Whole Home Bundle for multi-room functionality. If your TiVo Premiere currently has a wireless set-up, it must be converted to a hardwire installation. The TiVo Premiere will then be able to stream or transfer content from the TiVo Whole Home Bundle. Additionally, the TiVo Preview will be able to stream from the TiVo Q or the TiVo Premiere. This set-up requires an Ethernet Coax Bridge (ECB). (There is a charge for any additional ECB's installed in the home.)
Will I need additional equipment to upgrade to a TiVo Whole Home Bundle?
The need for additional equipment is dependent upon your home’s current digital TV and internet set-up. Upon upgrade, our technicians will advise on the best solution for your home entertainment needs. A router is required for all RCN TiVo equipment. Possible additional equipment includes an Ethernet Coax Bridge (ECB). If the TiVo Whole Home Bundle cannot be hardwired to the router, an ECB will be required – at no cost to you – if you choose to continue to use your current TiVo Premiere. There is a charge for any ECB installed in the home on an existing TiVo Premiere.
