The beauty of punching in a director with the Slide, and getting to rapidly see the all of the TV recording, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Amazon a-la-carte options is a killer feature. On the plus side, the TiVo search function totally trumps the Roku search. Not only do Netflix and Amazon launch slowly, as Dave warned me about, but even once launched, navigation is incredibly slow, and the interface is very weak, which is where Dave steered me wrong. And they’re not serving me ads so far – I’m guessing they’re waiting for the 30 day warranty to expire.īut Dave did steer me wrong on one item. Off topic, but after having my Roamio for a few weeks now, I’m really McLovin’ it.

I regret to inform you that the Stream won’t work with your S1 TiVo. “As for my placeshifting needs, with TiVo’s new-found Android support, I’m thinking of picking up a Stream – especially since the company indicates they’ll ultimately enable Android downloads”

For the interim, I guess us Slingbox owners have one more reason to keep Yahoo’s Firefox around. Indeed, in speaking with Sling last June, I got the sense that their player intentions were somewhat in flux… so it’ll be interesting to see where we ultimately land. While Sling has once again released a desktop client (yes!), it’s incomplete and support hasn’t been extended to most models (not to mention the software is next to impossible to find) - so that’s not an option for most impacted by this news. We are in the process of addressing this issue and are expecting a temporary interruption of the free, web-based Slingplayer service for Chrome browsers version 39 and above. You won’t be able to stream from your Slingbox using the latest version of the Chrome browser.

Since the current version of Watch on for Mac and PC uses a 32-bit browser extension, it is therefore no longer supported by the latest version of the Chrome browser. As part of their 64-bit upgrade process, Google is discontinuing the support of 32-bit browser extensions for Mac OS X and Windows computers.
