TiVo Puts TV Everywhere With Do-It-All Roamio: Rich Jaroslovsky

You can get a digital video recorder from your cable company. Want to watch something on Netflix or Hulu Plus? There’s Apple TV, or Roku. And SlingBox lets you access your home TV service from anywhere over the Internet.

Now there’s a single device that does all of the above: the Roamio, from DVR pioneer TiVo. There’s much to like about it; the question is whether its slick capabilities are worth the hefty cost and the hassles inflicted by cable companies.
