Could be bit sniffing going on. As you are dealing with high band width stream.

Yeah, my point exactly. If I can stream to my computer when I’m on my home 
network what’s to stop me from doing
exactly as you say, John. So why can’t I stream to my computer from everywhere?

Oh well.

Harry,

It could be that they won’t allow a computer as the film could be copied and 
saved from a computer, the mobile devices normally don’t have the storage 
capacity to capture streaming video, even if there are programs that allow???

If there is something that I REALLY need to save then I watch it on my 
computer, laptop or desktop, and capture it with SnapZPro, I can’t do that with 
the iPad..

Well I got an answer and it isn’t pretty.

After arguing with a tech support person and getting nowhere I asked to speak 
to a supervisor. He told me TiVo doesn’t support streaming to a computer 
outside of your home network. I said that’s not true, because I have been 
streaming from my TiVo at home in Kentucky to my computer here in Alabama. He 
got a little huffy and read me the standard official line that TiVo cannot 
stream to a computer off the home network. I said that’s BS because I have been 
doing so for 10 days. I went on to say they do have the capability because I 
have been doing it. He backed down and intimated (but didn’t say outright) that 
TiVo has that capability. I then suggested some machine or some person monitors 
the streaming and shut me down. When I pushed further he went on to say that 
the TV sources don’t allow TiVo to stream to computers off network. When I 
asked why they allow streaming to iPads but not computers he replied with 
enhanced computing capabilities one can get around copyright laws and copy 
programs.

I gave up. That’s ridiculous. If I am at home I can download a program to my 
iPad and watch it whenever I want and I’m guessing transfer it to my computer. 
I can also watch on my computer when I am at home. So what’s to prevent me from 
copying programs while at home.

Big brother is out there. Be careful!

I am in Alabama visiting my son. Before we left I purchased a TIVO Stream, 
connected it and my Tivo to my router with ethernet cables.


For over a week I have been able to stream to my computer. Yesterday afternoon 
I streamed a program to my computer. I left the computer on and the went to 
dinner. Later that evening I was unable to stream to my computer or to my 
wife’s computer. I can however, stream to my iPad pro. When I try to stream to 
the computers I get this message:

            Problem playing show. We are unable to detect your TiVo streaming 
device from this location. If you are currently away from home, streaming video 
is not supported at this time.

How come I can stream to my iPad but not to my computer?

Thanks.
