TiVo's new Roamio DVRs include six tuners and integrated out of home streaming

The dream of watching whatever we want, where ever we want, just got one step closer with the new "Roamio" DVR platform from TiVo. Also known as the Series 5, the Roamio family includes a revamped TiVo user interface, up to six tuners and 3TB of storage. That's certainly enough space and tuners to record anything viewers might want, but another new feature is out-of-home streaming. The Roamio Plus and Pro both include integrated TiVo Stream functionality, except it's not limited to the confines of your home network any longer -- an update will bring this to the existing TiVo Stream first, while Roamio customers will have to wait a bit longer. The other new update -- also coming to existing hardware -- is the long awaited dynamic tuner allocation for the TiVo Mini, which frees up more tuners for recording and expands the new room limit to nine. What to Watch Now is coming to TiVo Central and there are new guide filters to help you find stuff to watch. Last but not least, there's a new HTML5 engine that enables a new YouTube app, and the Netflix app has been updated too.

All three models also include a new RF remote as well as WiFi -- finally -- but only the top two feature MoCA. You can preorder the Roamio, Roamio Plus or Roamio Pro now for $199, $399, and $599, respectively (plus service). If you want to know more, then don't miss our full review. %Gallery-slideshow73096%
